Structural Stability of Natural Magnesiochromite at High-Temperature-Pressure Conditions

The podiform chromitites in the Luobusha ophiolite have been thought to experience a very deep formation,but the maximum depth is still an open issue.Here,we have investigated the structural stability of natural magnesiochromite using the synchrotron-based powder X-ray diffraction and diamond anvil cells up to 48.6 GPa and 2 450 K.The results have shown that spinel-type magnesio-chromite first decomposes into corundum-type'Cr2O3'+B1-type'MgO'at 11-14 GPa and 1 250-1 450 K,then modified ludwigite(mLd)-type'Mg2Cr,O5'+corundum-type'Cr2O3'at 14.3-20.5 GPa and 1 300-2 000 K,and finally CaTi2O4-type phase at 24.5 GPa.During the quenching procession from high-temperature-pressure conditions,the mLd-type phase appeared again and was kept at ambient conditions.We also obtained the isothermal equation states of spinel-type and CaTi2O4-type phases,re-vealing the composition effect on their elasticities.Based on the updated results,we propose chromitites could not experience pressure exceeding~14.3 GPa(approximate maximum depth~400 km)in the subduction-recycling genesis model.
