1 İfade olarak: Hydrothermal = Hot solution; Alteration= Change; Changes caused by hot solutions Scientically: Chemical, mineralogical and physical changes in a rock caused by the chemical and physical interaction of the hyrothermal fluid with the surrounding rock during its flow through the rock. Genetic Types of Hydrothermal Alteration Supergene alteration Surficial alteration or weathering of surficial rocks caused by the descent of surficial waters through the rock beneath the surface. Occurs near the surface But could reach very deep zones in tropical zones, and may cause Al, Ni and Fe deposits Hypogene alteration Alteration caused by hydrothermal fluids of hypogene environments
2 Vary in width from mm to km; usually m wide zones around 1-2 m thick / wide veins Basalt Ore zone The more the width of hydrothermal alteration zone around a vein, the higher the fluid / rock ratio. i.e. the higher the potential of occurrence of a relatively bigger ore deposit Fluid/rock ratio in hydrothermal systems vary from 0,1 to 4. Basalt Small Fluid/ Rock ratio Ore zone Big Fluid/ Rock ratio Alteration zone is rather wide
3 How Hydrothermal alteration has an affect on rocks? Physical features of wall rock: Porosity and permeability of rocks Chemical features of wall rock : Wheather the wall rock is reactive or not. Whether it contains easily solvable minerals. Eh and ph values of hydrothermal fluids Pressure of hydrothermal fluid Composition of hydrothermal fluid T and P values at which fluid-rock interaction takes place Strength of minerals against hydrothermal alteration Irresistant mineraller: Carbnates, zeolites, feldspatoids, Ca-plagioclase Rather resistant minerals : Pyroxene, amfibole and biotite Resistant mineraller: Na-plagioclase, K-feldspar, muscovite Very resistant minerals: Quartz. Briefly, Bowen s crystallisation sequence refects increasing resistance of minerals
4 Reactions occurring during hydrothermal alteration 1) Hydrolysis Occurs due to addition of H + from fluid to the rock. Unhydrous minerals (feldspars) are converted into hydrous minerals (mica) H + content of fluid increases. i.e. Acidity of fluid (ph) increases Example: Conversion of feldspars into micas 3 KAlSi 3 O H + KAl 3 Si 3 O 10 (OH) SiO K + Ortoclase Muscovite Quartz 3 NaAlSi 3 O 8 + 2H + NaAl 3 Si 3 O 10 (OH) SiO K + Albite Paragonit Quartz
5 Reactions occurring during hydrothermal alteration 2) Hydration / Dehiydration Loss of some of molecular water from fluid to minerals in the rock with which it interacts. 2 Mg 2 SiO H 2 O Mg 3 Si 2 O 5 (OH) 4 + Mg 2+ Olivin Serpantin Dehydration is just the opposite. i.e. Addition of fluid into the fluid following dissoluton of hydrous minerals Al 2 Si 2 O 5 (OH) SiO 2 Kaolen Al 2 Si 4 O 10 (OH) 2 + H 2 O Profillit
