PROBLEMS
 Compounds mixing with groundwater to pollute waterways
and its toxicity to animals and aquatic life.
 Effect of variable oxygen fugacity on the multivalent
elements with increasing reducing conditions in enstatite
chondrite material.
 REE enrichment in the melt of basaltic magma during crystal
fractionation .
OBSERVATIONS
 During the partial melting of peridotite we can readily
see—
 That Rb (DRb= 0.016), Sr (DSr= 0.025), Ba (DBa= 0.008), and
the REE are incompatible elements for typical mantle
minerals, and are concentrated in the melt,
 Whereas Ni (DNi= 10.4) and Cr (DCr= 6.39) are compatibles,
and remain principally in the solid peridotite residua.
The preferential movement of elements and their
entry in the solid and liquid phases during magmatic
crystallization .
DISTRIBUTION COEFFICIENT (D)
Ratio of the concentration of element in
solid to its concentration in the melt.
PARTITION COEFFICIENT
 D= CS/CL
CS = Concentration of the element in the solid.
CL = Concentration of the element in the liquid.
FOR COMPATIBLE ELEMENTS D>1
FOR INCOMPATIBLE ELEMENTS D<1
TYPES OF INCOMPATIBLE ELEMENTS
 Based on the ratio of valence to ionic radius.
 The smaller, more highly charged High Field Strength
(HFS) elements include the REE, Th, U, Ce, Pb4+, Zr, Hf,
Ti, Nb, and Ta.
 The low field strength Large ion Lithophile Elements
(LILE) elements (K, Rb, Cs, Ba, Pb2+, Sr, Eu2+) are
generally considered to be more mobile.
PARTIAL MELTING CRYSTAL FRACTIONATION
BATCH MELTING ( EQUILIBRIUM PARTIAL MELTING )
 LIQUID IN EQUILIBRIUM WITH RESIDUE .
 ESCAPE AS A SINGLE BATCH OF MAGMA .
 𝑪 𝑳/𝑪 𝑶 = 𝟏/𝑫 ∗(𝟏−𝑭)+𝑭
EQUILIBRIUM CRYSTALLISATION
 EQULIBRIUM BETWEEN ALL SOLIDS AND MELTS DURING
CRYSTALLISATION .
 CL /CO = 1/ [ D + F * (1 - D )]
RAYLEIGH MELTING
 LIQUID IN EQUILIBRIUM WITH RESIDUE .
 REMOVED IMMEDIATELY FROM THE SYSTEM .
 CL /CO = 1/D * ( 1- F ) ^ (1/D – 1)
RAYLEIGH FRACTIONATION ( FRACTIONAL
CRYSTALLISATION )
 CRYSTAL NOT IN EQULIBRIUM WITH MELT .
 CRYSTALS REMOVED FROM THE SITE OF FORMATION .
 CL /CO = F ^ ( D - 1 )
 Co = concentration of the element in the starting material (in the case of mantle melting, the concentration in th
original mantle).
 CL = concentration of the element in the liquid (i.e. melt).
 D = bulk partition coefficient for the residual solid (in case of crystal fractionation D for fractionating assemblage
 F = weight fraction of melt produced.
CONCLUSION
 D VALUES CAN BE USED TO DETERMINE THE PREFERENCE
OF AN ELEMENT TO ENTER A CRYSTAL LATTICE OR MELT
DURING MAGMATIC CRYSTALLIZATION.
 D VALUES CAN BE CORELATED WITH VARIOUS IGNEOUS
PROCESSES SUCH AS PARTIAL MELTING AND FRACTIONAL
CRYSTALLIZATION .
THANK YOU
