(Brenanetal.,1994;Ayers,1998).金紅石在水中的溶解度極低(AudetatandKeppler,2005;TropperandManning,2005)Ti,Nb和Ta在金紅石和流體之間的分配系數(shù)也較大，即這些元素在金紅石中極相容(Brenanetal.,1994;Stalderetal.,1998).俯沖洋殼在榴輝巖相條件下產(chǎn)生的高壓脈體通常被認(rèn)為是先前板片中的流體通道，從而可以反映流體遷移過(guò)程中與巖石間的交互反應(yīng)(e.g.,Beckeretal.,1999;GaoandKlemd,2001;Scambellurietal.,2001;JohnandSchenk,2003,2006;Johnetal.,2007).(Gaoetal.,2007)Fibrousomphacitesandrutilesinthesegregationclosetothehosteclogite;(a–e)markthewholerocksamplestakenforchemicalcompositionanalysisalongaprofilewithvaryingdistancetothesegregation.Oriented,acicularcentimeter-sizedrutilecrystalsoccurasinclusionsinankeriteinanirregularlyshapedsegregationinthecentreofaneclogiteboudin,whichitselfisenclosedbyblueschist(Gaoetal.,2007)Chemicalcompositionofthesegregationhosteclogitealongaprofilewithvariabledistancetothesegregation.(a)LILEand(b)HFSE.(Gaoetal.,2007)transportofTi,Nb,andTafromthehostrockintothesegregation.Spandleretal.,2004Spandleretal.,2004經(jīng)歷過(guò)蝕變和水化的洋殼到達(dá)匯聚板塊邊緣時(shí)，會(huì)攜帶上附沉積物。隨板片俯沖，部分上附沉積物會(huì)滯留在增生楔；板片中的基性巖石的含水量可達(dá)5%，lawsoniteblueschist-facies，一些低級(jí)含水礦物脫水會(huì)釋放出B和LILE；隨板片俯沖，持續(xù)脫水。主要的脫水過(guò)程發(fā)生在藍(lán)片巖相到榴輝巖相的轉(zhuǎn)變過(guò)程中,超過(guò)2%的水被釋放出來(lái)（Peacock,1993）；基性巖中的含水礦物分解或者超基性巖中的葉蛇紋石分解釋放流體，B,LILE,Th,U和LREE會(huì)隨流體遷移；富含以上元素的流體和熔體會(huì)進(jìn)入虧損地幔中，對(duì)島弧巖漿作用做出貢獻(xiàn)；一旦完全轉(zhuǎn)變到榴輝巖相，板片的密度大于周?chē)蒯＃瑥亩蚋罡_至少到660KM（TatsumiandEggins,1995）。但其中仍有含水礦物，如多硅白云母，硬柱石等。這些含水礦物的脫水，會(huì)有助于弧后盆地區(qū)域的巖漿作用。Spandleretal.,2004Ba,Cs,
