Mineralogical changes of the residual solid and trace-element fractionation during partial incongruent melting
Abstract
The mathematical expressions presented by HERTOGEN and GIJBELS (1976) to treat incongruent melting processes are extended to a more general case where the breakdown of the phases (α) takes the form α1 + α2 + … + αn = β + δ + γ + Liq. This modification provides model trace-element fractionation in melts derived from metapelitic rocks, in which muscovite and biotite are always present.
