Abstract

Equilibrium relations between garnet and orthopyroxene have been investigated by reversal experiments in the range of 20-45Kb and $975-1400^{\circ}C$ in the $FeO-MgO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$(FMAS) system. A mixture of PbO with about 55 mol per cent $PbF_2$ was used as a flux and proved very effective. The Fe-Mg exchange reaction seems to have little or no compositional dependence at these conditions. Combination of the experimental results with the garnet mixing model of Ganguly and Saxena(1984) yields the following geothermometric expression for the common natural assemblages that can be represented essentially within the system $FeO-MgO-CaO-MnO-Al_2O_3-SiO_2$. $$T^{\circ}C=(1971+11.91P(Kb)+1510(X_{Ca}+X_{Mn})^{Gt}/(lnK_D+0.96)-273$$.

석류석과 사방휘석의 평형관계를 20-45kb, $975-1400^{\circ}C$, FMAS시스템에서 상호역반응 실험을 통해서 연구하였으며 반응 촉매제로써 사용한 PbO와 0.55 $PbF_2$의 혼합물은 매우 효과적이었다. Fe-Mg의 교환반응은 이 실험온도, 압력범위 내에서는 조성성분의 영향을 받지 않는다. 실험결과와 석류석의 혼합 모델을 사용한 석류석-사방휘석의 지질온도계는 다음과 같다. $$T^{\circ}C=(1971+11.91P(Kb)+1510(X_{Ca}+X_{Mn})^{Gt}/(lnK_D+0.96)-273$$.
