Experimental study and reaction path modeling of the carbonation of natural serpentinites [PDF]
Mineralization of carbon dioxide is often seen as an attractive alternative to classical Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) technologies, allowing the sequestration of \ce{CO2} as a solid mineral with no risk of aquifer contamination or leakage back to the atmosphere.

Devolatilization of Subducting Slabs, Part I: Thermodynamic Parameterization and Open System Effects [PDF]
The amount of H$_2$O and CO$_2$ that is carried into deep mantle by subduction beyond subarc depths is of fundamental importance to the deep volatile cycle but remains debated. Given the large uncertainties surrounding the spatio-temporal pattern of fluid flow and the equilibrium state within subducting slabs, a model of H$_2$O and CO$_2$ transport in ...

Deformation and exhumation of the Ronda peridotite (Spain) [PDF]
The Ronda peridotite supplies one of the best objects to document subcontinental mantle deformation, but its internal deformation and exhumation mechanisms remain controversial. Here we provide new structural data and numerical results that constrain the Oligocene‐Miocene deformation history of the Ronda massif. We first describe a mantle shear zone in

THERMOBAROMETRY OF DEPLETED PERIDOTITES
An assessment was made of the possibility of using olivine thermobarometry for xenoliths of depleted peridotites from the Udachnaya pipe (Yakutia), represented by 76 megacrystalline dunites and 5 megacrystalline harzburgites. Specially developed and tested method of microprobe analysis was used to determine Al and Ca microimpurities in the olivine ...

Recent studies show that Ni0 catalyzes amino acid synthesis from 2‐oxoacids via reductive amination. We show that the cofactor pyridoxal is reductively aminated to pyridoxamine, the NH2‐transferring intermediate of transaminations, with NH3 (~ 5 mm) and H2 (5 bar) on Ni0 catalysts within hours in water under serpentinizing hydrothermal vent conditions (

Ductile deformation during carbonation of serpentinized peridotite
Mantle rocks can efficiently bind carbon by reaction with CO2 if fluid pathways remain open. This study of samples from Oman demonstrates that coupling of synchronous reaction and deformation facilitates fluid flow and massive carbon sequestration.

Experimental determination of ferric iron partitioning between pyroxene and melt at 100KPa [PDF]
Pyroxene is the principal host of Fe$^{3+}$ in basalt source regions, hosting 79 and 81% of the Fe$^{3+}$ in spinel and garnet lherzolite, respectively, with opx and cpx hosting 48% and 31%, respectively, of the total Fe$^{3+}$ in spinel peridotite. To better understand partitioning of Fe$^{3+}$ between pyroxene and melt we conducted experiments at 100

Viscosity of anhydrous and hydrous peridotite melts
The melt viscosity (η) of anhydrous and hydrous peridotite was investigated using a multipronged approach combining micropenetration viscometry, conventional DSC, flash DSC and Brillouin spectroscopy. Raman spectroscopy measurements were used to verify the absence of crystallization and/or degassing during high-temperature measurements of these ...

Key Points An analytical strategy for determining boron isotope ratios in Ca‐amphiboles using LA‐MC‐ICP‐MS is presented. Accurate δ11B results can be achieved using the USGS BHVO‐2G glass as the calibrating reference material. Two proposed Ca‐amphibole RMs exhibit good homogeneity with δ11B intermediate measurement precision of 2.86‰ and 3.96 (2s). The

Origin of Ophiolitic Peridotites
Origin of spinel peridotites of upper mantle derivation, especially that of ophiolitic peridotites, is discussed mainly on the basis of compositional relationship between olivine (Fo content) and chromian spinel (Cr/(Cr+Al) atomic ratio=Cr* ratio). Spinel peridotites are distributed in a relatively narrow band, the olivine-spinel mantle array, on the ...
