Ni-Ti-Zr-bearing equilibria

New phases in this subsystem are nickel, nickel oxide (bunsenite), zircon, baddeleyite, geikielite and pyrophanite. For both nickel and nickel oxide, a Landau excess heat capacity was used to model their lambda anomalies. The experimental data of O'Neill (1987) was used to derive the enthalpy of formation of nickel oxide. Data for zircon were added using the reaction zrc = bdy + q from Robie et al. (1978). The geikielite enthalpy was derived from the experiments of Haselton et al. (1978) on the reaction mag + ru = geik + CO2. Pyrophanite data were retrieved from the experimental exchange data of Pownceby et al. (1987) on the equilibrium spss + 3ilm = alm + 3pnt.

Ilmenite and ulvospinel data have been further refined through inclusion of the experiments of O'Neill et al. (1988) for the reactions 2ilm = 2iron + 2ru + O2 and 2usp = 2ilm + 2iron + O2 in the fitting process. The entropy of ulvospinel was changed to 175 J/K on the basis of arguments in O'Neill et al. (1988). The data for sphene was also fitted to the experiments of Manning & Bohlen (1991) for the reaction sph + ky = an + ru.
