Abstract

<p>This paper reviews the application of the singular value decomposition (SVD) method to the analysis of chemical reactions in a multicomponent system, emphasizing the power and generality of the SVD method. Furthermore a new development of application of the SVD method to the analysis of open-system reactions and mass transfer is shown, taking as an example a retrogressive reaction in an epidote glaucophanite in a serpentinite mélange from the Nishisonogi metamorphic rocks. </p><p>The epidote glaucophanite occurs as a tectonic block surrounded by a selvage of metabasite in a serpentinite mélange, representing a retrogressive reaction during the exhumation. The original assemblage of the epidote glaucophanite is epidote + glaucophane + winchite + phengite + chlorite + albite, which is replaced by the assemblage of epidote + winchite/barroisite + phengite + chlorite + albite + K-feldspar in the selvage. K-felspar occurs with winchite in small amounts. Because the occurrence of K-feldspar in basic rocks of epidote-blueschist facies is conspicuous, the K-feldspar-forming reaction was assessed with the SVD method. No reaction forming K-feldspar was found in the closed system (i.e., the SiO2–Al2O3–Fe2O3– FeO–MgO–CaO–Na2O–K2O system). Next, only one component was assumed to be mobile in the same system. An arbitrary choice of mobile component from the eight components did not give a correct K-feldspar-forming reaction that is consistent with the relative abundances of winchite and K-feldspar. Finally, mobile components and inert components were discriminated from the isocon diagram. In the case of an isocon defined by SiO2, MgO and Na2O, we found a total reaction by combining a K-feldspar-forming reaction and winchite-forming reaction that is consistent with the result of the isocon analysis such that Al2O3, CaO and K2O are evolved from the system. Thus the SVD method, combined with the isocon analysis, is a powerful tool to derive the reaction relations in open systems.</p>
