In situ determination of sulfur speciation and partitioning in aqueous fluid-silicate melt systems

Résumé

Current knowledge of sulfur behaviour in magmas is based exclusively on ex situ analyses. Here we report the first in situ measurement of sulfur speciation and partitioning between coexisting aqueous fluids and silicate melts. These data were acquired using Raman spectroscopy in a diamond anvil cell at 700 °C, 0.3–1.5 GPa, and oxygen fugacity in the vicinity of the sulfide-sulfate transition, conditions relevant to subduction zone magmatism. Results show that sulfate and sulfide are dominant in the studied systems, together with the and radical ions that are absent in quenched fluid and silicate glass products. The derived fluid/melt partition coefficients for sulfide and sulfate are consistent with those from available ex situ data for shallow crust conditions (<10 km), but indicate stronger partitioning of these sulfur species into the silicate melt phase with increasing depth. In contrast, both radical ions partition at least 10 times more than sulfate and sulfide into the fluid phase. Thus, by enhancing the transfer of sulfur and associated chalcophile metals from melt into fluid upon magma degassing, and may be important players in the formation of economic metal resources within the redox window of the sulfate-sulfide transition in subduction zone settings.
