The effects of excess SiO2 and CO~ on the solubility of molybdetfite in hydrous sodium disilica~.... more The effects of excess SiO2 and CO~ on the solubility of molybdetfite in hydrous sodium disilica~.e melts were experimentally determined at 680 bars and 650°C. The molybdenite solubility decreases with increasing SiO2 and CO2. Under the experimental conditions, the MoS2 content of the vapor-saturated liquid decreases from 10 wt.% to 2.5 w!.% at SlOe saturation, la the presence of CO,, the solubility decreases to 4.6 wt.% MoS:: and becemes negligible at high Pco 2. These results are explained as deriving from the increased polymerization a~:~d hence aecreased NBO/Si ratio of the melt with increasing SiOz content and CO2, respectively. Sulfi~.r dissolves principally as SO£ 2 at the relatively high fo2 of the experiments. Consequently, the effect of sulfur is to lower the Mo solubility by effectively decreasing the NBO/Si ratio of the melt. Sulfur saturation is. therefore, likely to be a limiting factor in the Mo content of alkali silicate melts because of the chalcophile affinities of molybdenum.
