Abstract

Nepheline is one of the main rock-forming minerals of the rocks of the Khibiny alkaline massif. Nepheline composition changes depending on the crystallization temperature, which makes it an indicator of rock formation conditions. In addition, nepheline is one of the main concentrators of hydrocarbon gases. The study of nepheline from different rocks of the Khibiny massif by local IR spectroscopy with Fourier transformation (micro-FTIR) has revealed the presence of water and acetylene in its structure. The water content estimated according to the method of statistical quantitative determination of water in nominally anhydrous minerals varies in the range from 0 to 0.78 wt.%. The highest water content has been observed in high-temperature nepheline of early formations (foyaite of the central and outer parts of the massif), and the lowest – in relatively low-temperature nepheline of later rocks of the Main Ring Fault (urtite, apatite-nepheline rock and poikilitic (kalsilite)-nepheline syenite – rischorrite). The study reveals that water enters the structure of nepheline in the form of H2O molecules that occupy vacancies in the potassium sites. The water content in nepheline is controlled by the number of vacancies in its structure. The presence of acetylene has been determined on a qualitative level. Additional studies are required to assess its quantitative content.
