Element Partitioning in Carbonatite Melts by milan1115- is a document available to read on EtoBox.
This document summarizes experiments measuring trace element partitioning between garnet and amphibole minerals, and a carbonatitic melt. The experiments were conducted between 18-33 kbar and 930-1080°C, replicating mantle conditions. Partition coefficients were determined for elements like Ti, Nb, Zr, Ta, Ce, Lu, Y, Sr, Ba, Rb and K. These coefficients allow predictions of how element ratios in carbonatitic melts would change after equilibrating with garnet or amphibole in the mantle. For example, interact
