Abstract
Substitution of chlorine for hydroxyls in calcium amphiboles has been widely documented, but the effect of this substitution on thermal stability is not known. Experimental reversal data are presented here comparing the upper-thermal stability of amphiboles formed in the ferro-pargasite and ferro-chloro-pargasite bulk compositions. Experiments were made over the range of 550–900 °C and 0.5–3 kbar at oxygen fugacities of log(fO2) of –0.3 to +0.5 relative to Co-CoO. Electron microprobe analysis of amphiboles made from the ferro-pargasite bulk composition were found to be ferro-pargasite, while those made from the ferro-chloro-pargasite bulk composition were low in A-site Na and Cl and were better classified as Cl-bearing ferro-ferri-hornblende. Although the differences between desired and observed amphibole compositions complicate the comparison of their thermal stabilities, it can be deduced that the Cl-bearing amphibole has a steeper dP/dT slope and, above 1 kbar, a lower thermal stability than ferro-pargasite. Thermodynamic analysis of the Cl-bearing amphibole was also done to extract thermochemical data for the Cl end-member amphibole ferro-chloro-hornblende [Ca2(Fe4Al) (AlSi7)O22Cl2 = Fe-Cl-Horn] that are consistent with the thermodynamic database of Holland and Powell (2011). Using an ideal-activity expression and estimated values for the heat capacity (CP = 1.106 + 8.9156 × 10−5(T, K) – 11218.3/T2 − 5.9548/T0.5; kJ/K·mol) and volume (283.0 ± 1.5 cm3/mol) for Fe-Cl-Hom, the derived values for
