Measurement of hydrous peridotite magma density at high pressure using the X-ray absorption method

Sakamaki, Tatsuya*; Otani, Eiji*; Urakawa, Satoru*; Suzuki, Akio*; Katayama, Yoshinori

The density of hydrous peridotite magma containing 5wt.% H$$_{2}$$O was measured at pressures and temperatures up to 4.3 GPa and 2073 K, respectively, using the X-ray absorption method. A fit of pressure-density-temperature data to the high-temperature Birch-Murnagan equation of state yields isothermal bulk modulus $$K_{T}=8.8pm 1.9$$ GPa, its pressure derivative $$K'=9.9pm 3.6$$ and the temperature derivative of the bulk modulus $$(delta K_{T}/delta T)_{P}=-0.0022 pm 0.0015$$ GPa/K at 1773K. The small bulk modulus of the hydrous peridotite magma compared with that of the dry peridotite magma reflects the effect of water, which is more compressible than the silicate melt.
