✦ Synopsis


Standard Gibbs free energies of formation (AIG ~ for the minerals rhodonite (MnSiO3), tephroite (Mn2SiO4) and braunite (MnySiO12) have been determined by measuring the oxygen fugacities of the following redox equilibria:

The measurements were performed by means of the solid-state emf technique involving calcia-stabilized zirconia as electrolyte material. The temperature range covered was 1000-1350 K. The results obtained were used to construct a diagram at 1200 K with the axes lgf(O2)-molar ratio Si/(Si + Mn) to indicate the stability ranges of the manganese silicates.
