A A Example: hypothetical garnet lherzolite = 60% olivine, 25% orthopyroxene, 10% clinopyroxene, and 5% garnet (all by weight), using the data in Table 9-1, is: DEr = ( · ) + ( · ) + ( · ) + ( · ) = Trace elements strongly partitioned into a single mineral Ni - olivine = 14 Figure 9-1a.

Trace Element Behavior The concentration of a major element in a phase is usually buffered by the system, so that it varies little in a phase as the system composition changes At a given T we could vary Xmelt from 20 60 % Mg/Fe without changing the composition of the melt or the olivine Trace element concentrations are in the Henry’s Law region of concentration, so their activity varies in direct relation to their concentration in the system Trace element concentrations are in the Henry’s Law region of concentration, so their activity varies in direct relation to their concentration in the system Thus if XNi in the system doubles the XNi in all phases will double Trace element concentrations are in the Henry’s Law region of concentration, so their activity varies in direct relation to their concentration in the system Thus if XNi in the system doubles the XNi in all phases will double Because of this, the ratios of trace elements are often superior to the concentration of a single element in identifying the role of a specific mineral K/Rb often used the importan
