Abstract

In the last two decades, boron has gained significance as a geochemical tracer in mantle studies, particularly related to fluid-mediated processes. In our investigation, we explore how boron and its stable isotopes distribute between basaltic melt and hydrous fluid under conditions relevant to magmatic degassing in the shallow crust (1000–1250 °C, 150–250 MPa). We utilized a synthetic MORB-like composition with added boric-acid isotope standard (NIST-SRM951a) and additional trace elements, subjecting it to varying pressure, temperature, and melt-fluid ratios using an internally heated pressure vessel. The B isotope composition in the quenched glasses were determined through femtosecond laser ablation coupled to a multi-collector inductively-coupled-plasma mass spectrometer. Our experiments revealed that, even at the highest temperatures, boron strongly partitions into the fluid phase, accompanied by significant B isotope fractionation. This leads to an enrichment of the heavy B isotope in the fluid, with a constrained Δ11Bmelt-fluid range of -1.7 ± 0.9‰, consistent with ab-initio modeling results. These findings highlight the potential of B isotopes to trace geochemical processes at elevated temperatures with. Our results have implications for predicting the δ11B of degassed, water-bearing basaltic magmas and estimating the B isotope composition of their mantle source.
