Serpentinization (hydration of mantle peridotite) gives significant changes to both chemical and physical properties of the oceanic lithosphere. Several studies suggested that the rate of serpentinization is maximized at 250-300°C, and the rate-limiting process of serpentinization is the dissolution of primary mineral (e.g., Malvoisin et al., 2012). Therefore, the dissolution rate of olivine at 250-300°C is consequently a critical parameter to understand the progress of serpentinization in the oceanic lithosphere. However, the olivine dissolution rates at > 150°C have never been measured (Rimstidt et al. 2012), and the olivine dissolution rate extrapolatory calculated at 300°C was inconsistent with the olivine serpentinization kinetics (Malvoisin et al., 2012). Towards the improved understanding of serpentinization kinetics, measuring dissolution rates of olivine as a function of solution composition and the temperature is required.

In this study, the dissolution rate of natural olivine ((Mg0.91, Fe0.09)2SiO4) was measured at 200-400 °C and 50 MPa using a flow-through reactor (Suzuki et al., 2015). A 0.5 mol/kg NaCl solution was introduced at a constant rate of 2.0 mL/min during experiments. A preliminary experiment revealed that steady-state dissolution rate of olivine at 200 °C and far-from-equilibrium conditions was ca. -4.8 [mol/m2/s] in log units. The obtained dissolution rate was consistent with the extrapolated dissolution rate (log10(Rate) = ca. -4.72 [mol/m2/s]), which was extrapolated from their pH-temperature dependence at 25-150 °C (Rimstidt et al., 2012). Based on dependences of temperature, salinity, and ΔG on dissolution rate, the timescales on hydrothermal alteration of peridotite will be discussed.
