Abstract

The calibrated pyroxene QUIlF equilibria is used in determining the temperature, pressure and silica activity of various volcanic and plutonic rocks. It is assumed that the assemblage is in equilibrium, mineral composition is retained and accurately known, other components' effects on the pyroxene equilibria is solved and that the thermodynamic model is valid before the equilibria can be applied to the various rock samples.
