Abstract

A mathematical model of infiltrational and diffusional metasomatism, based on equations of the balance of substance and kinetics of the accompanying reactions between the solutes and the rocks, shows that a system of mineralogically different metasomatic zones develops during filtration and diffusion of hydrothermal solutions; in the infiltrational metasomatism, if the reactions are rapid, the interzonal boundaries are strikingly definite, but no such definite boundaries can be developed in the diffusional metasomatism. V.P. Sokoloff.
