abstract = {The kinetics of the irreversible reaction Ca(OH) 2
+ MgCO 3 → CaCO 3 + Mg(OH) 2 were investigated
at high pressures and temperatures relevant to metamorphic
petrology, using both in situ synchrotron X-ray diffraction
and post-mortem analysis of reaction rim growth on recovered
samples. Reaction kinetics are found to strongly depend on
water content; comparable bulk-reaction kinetics are
obtained under water-saturated (excess water, c. 10 wt
$\%)$ and under intermediate (0·1–1 wt $\%$ water)
conditions when temperature is increased by c. 300 K. In
contrast, similar reaction kinetics were observed at
∼673 K and 823 K between intermediate and dry
experiments, respectively, where dry refers to a set of
experiments with water activity below 1·0 (no free water),
as buffered by the CaO–Ca(OH) 2 assemblage. Given the
activation energies at play, this gap—corresponding to the
loss of no more than 1 wt $\%$ of water by the
assemblage—leads to a difference of several orders of
magnitude in reaction kinetics at a given temperature.
Further analysis, at the microscopic scale, of the
intermediate and dry condition samples, shows that
intergranular transport of calcium controls the reaction
progress. Grain boundary diffusivities could be retrieved
from the classic treatment of reaction rim growth rate. In
turn, once modeled, this rate was used to fit the bulk
kinetic data derived from X-ray powder diffraction, offering
an alternative means to derive calcium diffusivity data.
Based on a comparison with effective grain boundary data for
Ca and Mg from the literature, it is inferred that both dry
and intermediate datasets are consistent with a
water-saturated intergranular medium with different levels
of connectivity. The very high diffusivity of Ca in the CaCO
3 + Mg(OH) 2 rims, in comparison with that of Mg in
enstatite rims found by earlier workers, emphasizes the
prominent role of the interactions between diffusing species
and mineral surfaces in diffusion kinetics. Furthermore, we
show that the addition of water is likely to change the
relative diffusivity of Mg and Ca in carbonate aggregates.
From a qualitative point of view, we confirm, in a
carbonate-bearing system, that small water content
variations within the 0–1 wt $\%$ range have tremendous
effects on both intergranular transport mechanisms and
kinetics. We also propose that the water content dependent
diffusivity of major species (Mg, Ca) in low-porosity
metamorphic rocks is strongly dependent on the interaction
between diffusing species and mineral surfaces. This
parameter, which will vary from one rock-type to another,
needs also to considered when extrapolating ( P , T , t , x
H 2 O) laboratory diffusion data to metamorphic processes.},
