Kinetics of Metamorphic Reactions at Elevated Temperatures and Pressures: An Appraisal of Available Experimental Data

  • Chapter

Part of the book series: Advances in Physical Geochemistry ((PHYSICAL GEOCHE,volume 4))

Abstract

Experimental kinetic studies and related theory for solid-state transformations relevant to metamorphic processes unfortunately lag far behind kinetic investigations of mineral-fluid reactions, related to natural waters and their precipitates, and mineral-melt reactions, related to crystallization of igneous rocks (see volume edited by Lasaga and Kirkpatrick, 1981). While metamorphic rocks have experienced successive temperature (T) and pressure (P) changes during their evolution, only rarely can we constrain the magnitude and direction of these P-T changes as functions of time (t). It is at present difficult to say whether characteristic disequilibrium features, observed petrographically, mean that a certain temperature was never achieved, or was only achieved for a short time. Such features might include the coexistence of two polymorphs or any complete reactant plus product assemblage as well as thermodynamically incompatible phases, irregular grain boundaries, and oriented fabrics. A great variety of environmental factors (presence of fluid, deformation, local chemical catalysts, etc.) can influence the kinetics of most mineral transformations. However, it is not often possible to see to what degree such factors have influenced an observed mineral assemblage from petrographic data alone.
