Abstract

Experimental studies aimed at the modeling of interaction processes of sulfur-bearing metasomatic agents with mantle silicates and assessing the effect of sulfur concentration on olivine sulfidation were carried out in the Fe,Ni-olivine – sulfur system using the high-pressure multi-anvil apparatus BARS (1050 and 1450°C, 6.3 GPa, 40–60 hours, sulfur concentrations (Xs) 0.1, 2 and 6 mol. %.). It has been established that as a result of the recrystallization of Fe,Ni-olivine in a sulfur melt, Fe and Ni are extracted from olivine into this melt, and formation of Fe,Ni-sulfides (or sulfide melts) and low-iron, low-nickel silicates takes place. The key indicator characteristics of the olivine sulfidation process are determined depending on the temperature and sulfur concentration, including characteristic phase assemblages, regularities in the evolution of the chemical compositions of mineral and melt phases, and structural features of olivine crystals. It has been experimentally established that reducing sulfur-bearing metasomatic agents, even in minimal concentrations and at relatively low temperatures, are capable of dissolving and transporting mantle silicates and sulfides, and can play an important role in sulfide ore formation in the mantle.
