Füri, E., Portnyagin, M., Mironov, N., Deligny, C., Gurenko, A., Botcharnikov, R., Holtz, F. In situ quantification of the nitrogen content of olivine-hosted melt inclusions from Klyuchevskoy volcano (Kamchatka) : Implications for nitrogen recycling at subduction zones (Article de journal) Dans: Chemical Geology, vol. 582, p. 120456, 2021. @article{Fri_etal2021, Assessing the N content of arc magmas and their mantle source remains a challenge because the volatile element composition of melts and gases can be modified during magma ascent, storage, and eruption. Given that melt inclusions (MIs) in Mg-rich olivine represent the best proxies for primary arc melts, we applied, for the first time, an in situ high-resolution secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) method to determine the N concentration in olivine-hosted MIs from Klyuchevskoy volcano in Kamchatka. To reverse the effects of post-entrapment modification processes (i.e., exsolution of volatiles into a fluid bubble), the MIs were partially to completely homogenized at high temperatures (1150--1400 ◦C) and pressures ranging from 0.1 to 500 MPa under dry to H2Osaturated conditions at variable oxygen fugacities (CCO to QFM + 3.3). After the experiments, N concentrations in water-rich MI glasses correlate positively with H2O and CO2 contents as well as with N/CO2 ratios, and negatively with the volume of the remaining fluid bubble. Glasses of completely homogenized (fluid bubble-free) MIs contain up to 25.7 textpm 0.5 ppm N, whereas glasses of three unheated (natural, bubble-bearing) MIs have significantly lower N concentrations of 1 textpm 0.3 ppm. The N-CO2-Nb characteristics of completely homogenized MIs indicate that melts feeding Klyuchevskoy volcano have high absolute concentrations of both N and CO2, as well as large excess of these volatiles relative to Nb, compared to primary mid-ocean ridge melts. This implies that large amounts of N and CO2 in Klyuchevskoy melts and their mantle source are derived from the subducting slab, and that these subducted volatiles are (partially) returned to the crust and atmosphere by arc-related magmatism. |

Dalou, C., Füri, E., Deligny, C., Piani, L., Caumon, G., Laumonier, B., Boulliung, J., Edén, M. Redox control on nitrogen isotope fractionation during planetary core formation (Article de journal) Dans: Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America, 2019. @article{Dalou_etal2019, The present-day nitrogen isotopic compositions of Earthtextquoterights surficial (15N-enriched) and deep reservoirs (15N-depleted) differ significantly. This distribution can neither be explained by modern mantle degassing nor recycling via subduction zones. As the effect of planetary differentiation on the behavior of N isotopes is poorlyunderstood, we experimentally determined N-isotopic fractionations during metal--silicate partitioning (analogous to planetary core formation) over a large range of oxygen fugacities ($Delta$IW −3.1 < logfO2 < $Delta$IW −0.5, where $Delta$IW is the logarithmicdifference between experimental oxygen fugacity [fO2] conditions and that imposed by the coexistence of iron and wüstite) at 1 GPa and 1,400 textdegreeC. We developed an in situ analytical method to measure the N-elemental and -isotopic compositions of experimental run products composed of Fe--C--N metal alloys and basaltic melts.Our results show substantial N-isotopic fractionations between metal alloys and silicate glasses, i.e., from −257 textpm 22texttenthousand to −49 textpm 1texttenthousand over 3 log units of fO2. These large fractionations under reduced conditions can be explained by the large difference between N bonding in metal alloys (Fe--N) and in silicate glasses (asmolecular N2 and NH complexes). We show that the $delta$15N value of the silicate mantle could have increased by �`u20texttenthousand during core formation due to N segregation into the core. |
