Abstract
Two melting reactions, (i) CaCO_3 + Ca(OH)_2 = liquid and (ii) CaCO_3 + Ca(OH)_2 + vapor = liquid, have been extended from 4 kb to 40 kb using piston-cylinder apparatus. Points measured for reaction (i) are: 655°C at 4 kb, 659°C at 15.5 kb, 662°C at 25 kb, and 666°C at 40.7 kb; and for reaction (ii): 630°C at 4 kb, 565°C at 15.5 kb, 537°C at 25 kb, and 524°C at 40.8 kb. A pressure-temperature projection for the system CaO-CO_2-H_2O is presented, in part schematic, from 300°C to 1500°C and from l bar to 40 kb. The carbonate phase changes from calcite to aragonite with increasing pressure. The compositions of the liquid and vapor phases appear to remain quite distinct up to 40 kb, hut conditions above a hypothetical second critical endpoint for reaction (ii) are illustrated. Textures observed in the quenched liquids are compared with textures described in carbonatites and adduced as evidence supporting a magmatic origin for these carbonatites.
