Περίληψη | Progressive alteration by seawater of an andesite in the Aegean Island of Milos and an ignimbrite
in the Aegean Island of Kimolos, Greece, formed bentonites with or without zeolites. Both profiles
are dominated by migration of alkalis and uptake of Mg, Fe and H20, while A1 and Ti are immobile.
The relative removal of alkalis controls the formation of either smectite or zeolites. The behavior of Ca
and Si depends on the chemistry of the parent rock. In the rhyolitic profile, alteration is controlled by
gain of Mg, Fe 2§ and Ca and loss of Na, K and Si, while in the andesitic profile by gain of Mg and Fe 2§
and loss of Na, K and Ca. In both profiles, significant uptake of SO4 = was not observed. Moreover Zr,
Nb, V and Ni are immobile and have been enriched residually, while Sr, Rb and Y are lost in both
profiles. Thorium is immobile in the rhyolitic profile but is leached in the andesitic profile. Also, the rare
earth elements (REE) display fractionation in both profiles; the degree of fractionation increases with the
degree of alteration to bentonite. Fractionation of the REE in both profiles and mobility of Th in the
andesitic profile are related to the existence of monazite (rhyolitic profile) and apatite (andesite profile).
The REE and Th appear to partition into phosphates rather than smectite.
The mobility of Y coupled with the immobility of Nb increases the Nb : Y ratio with advancing alteration,
rendering discrimination diagrams that use this ratio to determine the nature of the prototiths
misleading. Mass balance calculations showed that in the smectite-rich zones the water:rock (WR) ratio
might be as high as 13:1 in both profiles, while in the zeolite-bearing zones it is about 5.5:1. Such WR
ratios explain the observed extensive mass transfer and suggest that the pore fluid chemistry might
overprint the chemical characteristics of the parent rocks controlling smectite and bentonite chemistry | en |
