The thermodynamic functions of minerals in the FeO-MgO-Al2O3-SiO2 (FMAS) system have been assessed using phase equilibria, equations of state and calorimetric data. Phase equilibria in this system have been calculated using ideal, symmetric and asymmetric models of solid solution for minerals to obtain KD of exchange reactions consistent with experimental data. A symmetric model for olivine (Wol = 10 800 J mol-1), spinel (Wsp = 1300 J mol-1) and pyroxene (WFeAlopx = WAlFeopx = -3383 - 2.35T - 0.4723P) and an asymmetric model for garnet (WFeMggr = 230 + 0.01P, WMgFegr = 3720 + 0.06P) were recommended, as these mixing parameters provide a better agreement for the calculated phase equilibria with the totality of experimental data. The THERMOSEISM database which includes experimental and assessed data on thermodynamic and thermoelastic properties (bulk modulus and its pressure derivative, thermal expansion, heat capacity, volume, Debye temperature, enthalpy of formation, entropy and mixing parameters of solid solutions), has been obtained for calculation of mineral assemblages at high pressure and temperature and for the further application to the modelling of the mineral composition of the lunar mantle.
