Thermochemical study Mg–Fe amphiboles

详细

The paper presents data on the thermochemical study (high-temperature melt calorimetry in a Tian–Calvet microcalorometer) of two natural Mg–Fe amphiboles: anthophyllite Mg_2.0(Mg_4.8Fe_0.2²⁺)[Si_8.0O₂₂](OH)₂ from Kukh-i-Lal, southwestern Pamirs, Tajikistan, and gedrite Na_0.4Mg_2.0(Mg_1.7Fe_0.2²⁺Al_1.3)[Si_6.3Al_1.7O₂₂](OH)₂ from the Kola Peninsula, Russia. The enthalpy of formation from elements is obtained as–12021 ± 20 kJ/mol for anthophyllite and as–11545 ± 12 kJ/mol for gedrite. The standard entropy, enthalpy, and Gibbs energy of formation are evaluated for Mg–Fe amphiboles of theoretical composition.
