Overview

Integrated analyses reveal fluid exsolution controls lithium enrichment in pegmatites, suggesting new insights into mineralization processes.

Key Points

  • This study aims to investigate how fluid exsolution affects lithium mineralization in pegmatites.
  • Conducted major and trace element geochemical analyses on Koktokay No. 3 pegmatite
  • Measured lithium isotopes for understanding mineralization processes
  • Utilized simulation modeling to quantify lithium enrichment during pegmatite crystallization
  • Fluid exsolution started at around 50% crystallization time
  • High viscosity of melts fell after fluid exsolution, leading to enhanced Li concentration
  • Spodumene precipitation significantly occurred as crystallization approached 88%
