For example, zeolites occur as a major mineral group in tuffaceous rocks (such as those at the Nevada Nuclear Security Site), and they play a key role in defining the high-pressure behavior of tuff in a nuclear explosion event. The crystal structure, Si/Al ratio, and type of pressure-transmitting media (PTM) used in high-pressure experiments influence the compressional behavior of a given zeolitic phase. The heulandite-type (HEU) zeolites, including heulandite and clinoptilolite, are isostructural but differ in their Si/Al ratios. Thus, HEU-type zeolites comprise an ideal system in unraveling the effects of Si/Al ratio and type of PTM on their pressure-induced structural behavior. In this study, we performed in situ high-pressure angle-dispersive powder synchrotron X-ray diffraction (XRD) experiments on a natural HEU zeolite, clinoptilolite, with a Si/Al ratio of 4.4, by compressing it in a diamond anvil cell (DAC) up to 14.65 GPa using a non-penetrating pressure-transmitting medium (KCl). Unit cell parameters as a function of pressure up to 9.04 GPa were obtained by Rietveld analysis. Unit cell volumes were fit to both a second and a third-order Birch–Murnaghan equation of state. The mean bulk modulus (<i>K</i>₀) determined from all the fittings is 32.7 ± 0.9 GPa. The zero-pressure compressibility of the <i>a-</i>, <i>b-</i>, and <i>c</i>-axes for clinoptilolite are 10.6 (± 0.8) × 10^–3 GPa^–1, 5.3 (± 0.7) × 10^–3 GPa^–1, and 17.1 (± 1.8) × 10^–3 GPa^–1, respectively. The pressure–volume equations of states of this type of zeolite are important for characterizing high-pressure behavior of the broader family of microporous materials and for developing reliable geophysical signatures for underground nuclear monitoring.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":20132,"journal":{"name":"Physics and Chemistry of Minerals","volume":"49 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.4,"publicationDate":"2022-11-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"4624546","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"地球科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The textures of the various SiO₂ phases and their trace element content (Al, Li, B, Ti, Ga, Ge, As), as well as the presence of mineral inclusions (i.e., Fe-oxides and sulfates), is the result of physicochemical fluctuations of SiO₂-bearing fluids. Positive correlation between Al and Li, low Al/Li ratio, and low Ti in hyaline quartz points to low-temperature hydrothermal environment. Local enrichment of B and As in chalcedony-rich layers are attributed to pH fluctuations. Analysis of the FT-IR spectra in the principal OH-stretching region (2750–3750 cm⁻¹) shows that the silanol and molecular water signals are directly proportional. Strikingly, combined Raman and FT-IR spectroscopy on the chalcedonic bands reveals an anticorrelation between the moganite content and total water (SiOH + molH₂O) signal. The moganite content is compatible with magmatic-hydrothermal sulfate/alkaline fluids at a temperature of 100–200 °C, whereas the boron-rich chalcedony can be favored by neutral/acidic conditions.
