Abstract: | Recent studies have suggested that a chromian spinel can be formed under natural hydrothermal conditions; however, the required conditions, process, and associated redistribution of Cr are still poorly understood. Here, chromian spinel formation was performed by Fe-Cr hydroxides alteration with an Fe-(aq)(2+) supply at 150, 170, and 200 degrees C and 5 MPa simulating the diagenetic process. The flow-through system enabled the Fe-(aq)(2+) supply to be leached from the magnetite by an acidic solution to synthesize Fe-Cr hydroxides as the starting material with two reaction cells, flow lines, heaters, and a high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) pump. The accuracy of the temperature measurement was confirmed based on the amorphous silica solubility. Mineralogical analysis of solid samples recovered from the reaction cell indicated that the chromian spinel was formed between 150 and 170 degrees C from Fe-Cr hydroxides through goethite with a simultaneous hematite formation, while Mossbauer spectra showed that a large quantity of Fe-Cr ferrihydrites still remained after the experiments probably because of the Cr addition to the stability of ferrihydrites. The Cr/Fe ratio of the chromian spinel was smaller than that of the bulk of the Fe-Cr ferrihydrites and equivalent to Cr-rich magnetite, suggesting a redistribution of Cr during the transformation from goethite to synthesized spinel under the hydrothermal conditions. |
