Abstract
Sulfur isotope fractionation in ZnS-HS- and PbS-HS- systems has been studied experimentally in the temperature range from 50 to 340°C. Sulfur isotopic exchange between sulfide minerals and HS- ions was found to be unexpectedly fast. In the ZnS-HS- system several ten hours are enough to attain isotopic equilibrium in the temperature range from 50 to 200°C. Temperature dependence of equilibrium fractionation was estimated as follows: In αsphalerite-HS-= 111T-2 + 0.00136 In αgalena-HS-=-782 T-2 + 0.00170 From these equations the temperature dependence of sphalerite-galena fractionation is In αsphalerite-galena=891 T-2-0.00057.
