Реферат: | eng: Melt inclusions in kimberlitic and metamorphic diamonds worldwide range in composition from potassic aluminosilicate to alkali-rich carbonatitic and their low-temperature derivative, a saline high-density fluid (HDF). The discovery of CO2 inclusions in diamonds containing eclogitic minerals are also essential. These melts and HDFs may be responsible for diamond formation and metasomatic alteration of mantle rocks since the late Archean to Phanerozoic. Although a genetic link between these melts and fluids was suggested, their origin is still highly uncertain. Here we present experimental results on melting phase relations in a carbonated pelite at 6 GPa and 900-1500 degrees C. We found that just below solidus K2O enters potassium feldspar or K2TiSi3O9 wadeite coexisting with clinopyroxene, garnet, kyanite, coesite, and dolomite. The potassium phases react with dolomite to produce garnet, kyanite, coesite, and potassic dolomitic melt, 40(K0.90Na0.10)(2)CO3 center dot 60Ca(0.55)Mg(0.24)Fe(0.21)CO(3) + 1.9mol% SiO2 + 0.7mol% TiO2 + 1.4mol% Al2O3 at the solidus established near 1000 degrees C. Molecular CO2 liberates at 1100 degrees C. Potassic aluminosilicate melt appears in addition to carbonatite melt at 1200 degrees C. This melt contains (mol/wt%): SiO2 = 57.0/52.4, TiO2 = 1.8/2.3, Al2O3 = 8.5/13.0, FeO = 1.4/1.6, MgO = 1.9/1.2, CaO = 3.8/3.2, Na2O = 3.2/3.0, K2O = 10.5/15.2, CO2 = 12.0/8.0, while carbonatite melt can be approximated as 24(K0.81Na0.19)(2)CO3 center dot 76Ca(0.59)Mg(0.21)Fe(0.20)CO(3) + 3.0mol% SiO2 + 1.6mol% TiO2 + 1.4mol% Al2O3. Both melts remain stable to at least 1500 degrees C coexisting with CO2 fluid and residual eclogite assemblage consisting of K-rich omphacite (0.4-1.5wt% K2O), almandine-pyrope-grossular garnet, kyanite, and coesite. The obtained immiscible alkali-carbonatitic and potassic aluminosilicate melts resemble compositions of melt inclusions in diamonds worldwide. Thus, these melts entrapped by diamonds could be derived by partial melting of the carbonated material of the continental crust subducted down to 180-200 km depths. Given the high solubility of chlorides and water in both carbonate and aluminosilicate melts inferred in previous experiments, the saline end-member, brine, could evolve from potassic carbonatitic and/or silicic melts by fractionation of Ca-Mg carbonates/eclogitic minerals and accumulation of alkalis, chlorine and water in the residual low-temperature supercritical fluid. Direct extraction from the hydrated marine sediments under conditions of cold subduction would be another possibility for the brine formation.
