Niobium, zirconium, titanium, and rare earth elements in alkaline silica-undersatured magmas: experimental determination of solubility, complexation and phase relations and implications for the formation of magmatic Nb-Zr-REE deposits

过碱性岩浆岩是地球上最大的一些Zr、Nb、Ta和稀土元素(REE)聚集地。目前或在不久的将来，特别重要的是硅质不饱和碱性岩石中的矿床(俄罗斯科拉半岛的Khibiny和Lovoero地块，以及格陵兰南部加达尔省的矿床)，它们具有复杂的矿物学特征。到目前为止，对这些岩石的实验研究很少，因此缺乏关于这些元素的溶解度和络合度甚至相关系的基本数据。在这里提出的项目中，我们想要解决一些公开的问题，并测定Nb、Zr、Ti和REE在碱性铝硅酸盐熔体中的溶解度，这些矿物在冷却早期结晶(绿柱石、钙钛矿、钙钛矿、透析矿、副钙钛矿、锆石、斜晶石)随过碱度以及F、Cl、CO2和H2O浓度的变化而变化。这些实验还将提供有关相关系的信息。此外，我们还计划研究Nb、Zr、Ti和REE在玻璃中的配位化学以及Nb在高温下原位熔体中的络合作用。

Peralkaline magmatic rocks host some the largest accumulations of Zr, Nb, Ta and rare earth elements (REE) on Earth. Of particular importance at present or in the near future are or will be deposits in silica-undersaturated alkaline rocks (Khibiny and Lovozero massifs, Kola Peninsula, Russia and deposits in the Gardar province, southern Greenland), which are characterized by a complex mineralogy. So far, these rocks are little studied experimentally, and thus fundamental data on solubility and complexation of these elements and even on phase relationships are missing. In the project proposed here, we would like to address some of the open questions and determine the solubility of Nb, Zr, Ti and REE from minerals that crystallize early upon cooling (lueshite, perovskite, loparite, eudialyte, parakeldyshite, zircon, baddeleyite) in alkali aluminosilicate melts as function of peralkalinity, and of the concentrations of F, Cl, CO2, and H2O). These experiments will also provide information on phase relationships. Moreover, we plan to study the coordination chemistry of Nb, Zr, Ti and REE in the produced glasses and the complexation of Nb in the melt in situ at high temperature.
