Abstract

Abstract

To understand the mechanism of high-temperature hydrothermal system in highly permeable oceanic crust, a reactive hydrothermal convection model is proposed to solve mineral precipitation and its feedback on permeability. Mineral reaction of anhydrite, pyrite and chalcopyrite are accounted in the model. Precipitation and dissolution can be solved using solubility product of the mineral and transformed into permeability change. The results suggest that pyrite and chalcopyrite are precipitated as cap-like structure around 300-380℃ isotherm. With hydrothermal temperature increasing, the cap-like structure is moving to seafloor. Anhydrite is precipitated as chimney-like structure around focus flow by seawater heating and seawater-hydrothermal mixing. The low permeable chimney-like structure prevent seawater-hydrothermal mixing and thus keep hydrothermal at high temperature. Once the high-temperature focusing flow is formed, more metal can be dissolved in hydrothermal and be transported to shallow crust and seafloor. The numerical simulation results could help to understand the mechanism of high-temperature hydrothermal venting.
