Abstract

The self diffusion of iron in Fe2SiO4 and CaFeSiO4 melts has been measured in the temperature range 1250° to 1540°C using Fe59 as the radio tracer and the capillary-liquid reservoir method of diffusion measurement. The results obtained are represented by

$$log D_{Fe} = - \frac{{3800 \pm 500}}{T} - 2.74 \pm 0.29$$

for Fe2SiO4, and

$$log D_{Fe} = - \frac{{5450 \pm 620}}{T} - 1.93 \pm 0.37$$

for CaFeSiO4. Excellent agreement is obtained with the self-diffusivity of iron calculated from the measured interdiffusivity of iron and oxygen in iron oxide melts.
