Abstract

The coefficient for iron and magnesium exchange between olivine and liquid is modelled as a function of temperature in the simple system MgO-FeO-SiO2, and is found to be temperature insensitive in the range 1,200–1,400° C, but temperature sensitive at higher temperatures. In natural systems silica and the alkalis have a strong effect on the exchange coefficient. This effect is approximated by a simple mixture model for the silicate liquid.
