Using equilibrium thermodynamics in the study of metasomatic alteration, illustrated by an application to serpentinites
Metasomatic rocks, in which mineralogical change is driven by infiltration of an externally-derived fluid, are challenging for the application of equilibrium thermodynamics because fluid-driven changes in rock bulk composition can be faster than diffusive within-grain re-equilibration. Nevertheless,...
