Glasses produced from decompression experiments conducted by Fiege et al. (2014a) were used to investigate the fractionation of sulfur isotopes between fluid and andesitic melt upon magma degassing. Starting materials were synthetic glasses with a composition close to a Krakatau dacitic andesite. The glasses contained 4.55-7.95 wt% H2O, similar to 140 to 2700 ppm sulfur (S), and 0-1000 ppm chlorine (Cl). The experiments were carried out in internally heated pressure vessels (IHPV) at 1030 degrees C and oxygen fugacities (f(O2)) ranging from QFM+0.8 log units up to QFM+4.2 log units (QFM: quartz fayalite magnetite buffer).The decompression experiments were conducted by releasing pressure (P) continuously from similar to 400 MPa to final P of 150, 100, 70 and 30 MPa. The decompression rate (r) ranged from 0.01 to 0.17 MPa/s. The samples were annealed for 0-72 h (annealing time, t(A)) at the final P and quenched rapidly from 1030 degrees C to room temperature (T). The decompression led to the formation of a S-bearing aqueous fluid phase due to the relatively large fluid melt partitioning coefficients of S. Secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) was used to determine the isotopic composition of the glasses before and after decompression. Mass balance calculations were applied to estimate the gas melt S isotope fractionation factor alpha(g-m).No detectable effect of r and t(A) on alpha(g-m) was observed. However, SIMS data revealed a remarkable increase of alpha(g-m) from similar to 0.9985 +/- 0.0007 at >QFM+3 to similar to 1.0042 +/- 0.0042 at similar to QFM+1. Noteworthy, the isotopic fractionation at reducing conditions was about an order of magnitude larger than predicted by previous works. Based on our experimental results and on previous findings for S speciation in fluid and silicate melt a new model predicting the effect of fO(2) on alpha(g-m) (or Delta S-34(g-m)) in andesitic systems at 1030 degrees C is proposed. Our experimental results as well as our modeling are of high importance for the interpretation of S isotope signatures in natural samples (e.g., melt inclusions or volcanic gases).
