Collaborative Research: Chemical Equilibria Involving Iron And Hydrogen In Metapelites From Western Maine, Charles V. Guidotti
Collaborative Research: Chemical Equilibria Involving Iron And Hydrogen In Metapelites From Western Maine, Charles V. Guidotti
University of Maine Office of Research Administration: Grant Reports
The primary goal of this research is to evaluate the chemical equilibria involving ferrous and ferric iron and hydrogen in metapelitic rocks from western Maine and related rocks at Black Mountain, New Hampshire. We will study samples from graphite, magnetite, and hematite-bearing rocks at three different metamorphic grades: garnet, lower sillimanite, and staurolite zone. This will permit the determination of:
(1) in situ partition coefficients for Fe3+ and Fe2+ among all the Fe-bearing phases and for H among hydrous phases;
(2) the temperature and fO2 dependence of Fe3+/Fetotal and effects of Fe3+ substitution on other cation substitutions plus their implications …
