Scientific paper

We discuss the temperature dependence of the fractionation factor α, for oxygen isotopic exchange between silicates, magnetite and water from a theoretical point of view. It is shown that for anhydrous silicates and magnetite 1000 ln α (mineral water) = -3.7 + B/T2, where B is a constant, for the temperature interval 500° to 800°C. Using the results of laboratory experiments and natural observed fractionations, we have derived isotopic fractionation equations for quartz, feldspar, muscovite and magnetite-water systems, which in certain cases are considerably different from already published equations.
