Abstract
The experimental study of the effects of alkalis content on zircon solubility in multicomponent model silicate melts was conducted in temperature range 1300–1400°С and at 1 atm total pressure. It was demonstrated that the addition to the melt of Na2O and K2O results in comparable increase of zircon solubility. The advantages and disadvantages of the parameters describing zircon solubility are shortly discussed.
