This alteration is a proxy for water–rock interaction in magmatic–hydrothermal systems and associated high-sulphidation mineralizing environments, as well as for how these systems translate changes in the magmatic system to surface emissions, which are used in volcanic hazard monitoring. Detailed bulk chemical study of altered and unaltered samples shows that alteration is characterised by near-complete leaching of all major and trace elements, except for Pb, Sn and Sb, which are progressively enriched (Pb up to 15-fold absolute enrichment). The resulting element release is complementary to the observed changes in composition of the Banyu Pahit water downstream, when corrected for dilution, indicating that alteration progressively increases the element load. The signature of the change in water chemistry is best explained by complete alteration of fresh rock, rather than mature alteration, which might be expected given the advanced altered state of the riverbed. Together with mass balance considerations, this indicates that the dominant element source is material falling into the river from the valley flanks. The chemical signature of the crater lake is inconsistent with the observed alteration in samples from the hydrothermal system, and likewise is best explained by surface input of cations from rocks falling in from the crater walls. This indicates that the lake water cation chemistry is not a direct reflection of the underlying magmatic–hydrothermal system and that its cation content is therefore not an appropriate monitor of changes in volcanic activity. © 2010 Elsevier B.V.

Introduction Crater lakes at active volcanoes develop through a complex and dynamic interplay between element input from magmatic degassing, water–rock interaction, rain and groundwater, and output by mineral precipitation, evaporation and seepage. For crater lakes to persist and reach a steady-state, these chemical fluxes, and the associated thermal budget, have to be finely balanced (Oppenheimer, 1997; Varekamp et al., 2000). Volcanic element input can be direct, or occur via an intermediate magmatic–hydrothermal system developed around the degassing magma, which itself is the result of interaction between magmatic fluids, groundwater and the host rock. Such magmatic–hydrothermal systems are of considerable geological interest, because they represent important sites of mineralization, driving the potential formation of high-sulphidation epithermal Cu– ⁎ Corresponding author.

They furthermore represent the interface between the degassing magmatic system at depth and its surface expressions. Emissions from the magmatic–hydrothermal system, in the form of vapour and/or liquid, therefore provide a window into the magmatic system, and potentially a means to monitor its activity. This is a prime avenue in hazard assessment at many active volcanoes (e.g. Mt. Ruapehu—Christenson, 2000, Poás volcano—Martínez et al., 2000, Kusatsu-Shirane volcano—Ohba et al., 2008). The emissions themselves are commonly characterised by high toxicity and reactivity, and they can therefore have a major impact on their surrounding environment, including the destruction of vegetation and soils, and pollution of ground- and river water (Heikens et al., 2005; Löhr et al., 2005; van Rotterdam-Los et al. 2008). The key to understanding the above processes is evaluating the water–rock interaction, because this controls, or strongly impacts 170 V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 (depending on the water–rock ratio) the conditions of the hydrothermal system and the compositions of the associated liquid and vapour. Unfortunately, our information on water–rock interaction in magmatic–hydrothermal systems is commonly indirect and onesided, derived either from altered rocks in exposed, extinct hydrothermal systems, or from their liquid and vapour emissions on the surface. Such studies reveal a discrepancy between element concentrations in volcanic emissions and observed enrichment in exposed magmatic–hydrothermal mineralisations (e.g. Hedenquist and Lowenstern, 1994; Simmons and Brown, 2007), suggesting that either water–rock interaction leads to strong preferential incorporation of certain elements, or that alteration and mineralisation are decoupled (cf. Hedenquist and Lowenstern, 1994). Kawah Ijen volcano on the eastern tip of Java provides us with the unique opportunity to study magmatic–hydrothermal water– rock interaction directly and in-situ. At Kawah Ijen, hyperacidic sulphate-chloride brines from the active crater lake and the Banyu Pahit river interact with surface magmatic deposits, and this ongoing interaction can be studied in-situ at several localities. This interaction leads to the development of silicic and advanced argilic alteration typical of high-sulphidation environments (cf. White and Hedenquist, 1990; Giggenbach, 1997). In the preceding contribution we discussed the mineralogical and textural impact of this water– rock interaction in the various environments at Kawah Ijen. Here we focus on its impact on bulk-rock chemistry to determine the behaviour of a large suite of elements in a silicic alteration system and to evaluate the resulting element fluxes between rock and water. 2. Setting and geology 2.1. Kawah Ijen volcano Kawah Ijen volcano is located on the south-east rim of the Ijen caldera in East Java, Indonesia, and is part of the Sunda volcanic arc (Fig. 1). The volcano is positioned on the flank of the Merapi rimvolcano and forms the easternmost member of the intra-caldera volcano series. At Kawah Ijen, three styles of activity can be differentiated. An initial episode of cone-building is characterised by alternating strata of lava, scoria, lapilli and ash, varying in composition from basalt to andesite (Kemmerling, 1921; Sitorus, 1990; this work). On the outer slopes of the volcano, there is a series of large lava flows, Fig. 1. Overview map of Kawah Ijen volcano and the upstream Banyu Pahit river showing the sample locations (insets show Kawah Ijen's location on the island of Java, and a detailed map of the rapids sample site). The approximate positions of the large Kawah Ijen lava flows are also shown (after Sujanto et al., 1989). Topography based on the 1:20,000 scale map by the topographical survey (1918), updated with our GPS measurements. Contour interval is 10 m, with thick lines for 100 m contours. V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 descending to the north on either side of Blau volcano, and towards the east on the outside flank of the Ijen caldera (Fig. 1). These flows are well exposed in river valleys, and marked by waterfalls at their furthest extent. They are indistinguishable in composition, mineralogy and texture from those of the volcanic edifice and link up with the higher levels of the volcanic cone where they can be traced back to the volcano. Hydrothermal, phreatic and phreato-magmatic deposits mark the third style of activity. These deposits are exposed on the summit where they discordantly overly the cone-building strata. They are composed primarily of variably altered magmatic material, but locally contain fragments of native sulphur, interspersed with charcoal-rich soil layers and thin ash falls. Ballistics, ranging from dense magmatic bombs characterised by large (up to 2 cm in length) plagioclase phenocrysts, to strongly altered material, are present within and on top of these deposits. Further phreato-magmatic deposits are exposed in the river valley of the Banyu Pahit river, where they are interspersed with lava flows, ash and scoria fall deposits, mud flows and pyroclastic flows, all descending through this valley. The thickness and competence of individual deposits vary strongly and these are expressed directly in their lateral extent. Most end at the Banyu Pahit rapids site where the valley opens up, although at least one lava flow extends downstream to Watucapil (Fig. 1). The phreatomagmatic deposits are bimodal with variably altered grains and pristine magmatic fragments consisting of (broken) phenocrysts and angular, dark glass exhibiting varying degrees of vesiculation and crystallization. The magmatic material is identical in texture and mineralogy to the magmatic bombs sampled on the summit area (e.g. sample KV08-501). The altered material varies strongly in the degree of alteration among layers, although alteration intensity is reasonably constant within layers. Altered lava, containing minor precipitates of barite, dominates. Based on the exposures in the Banyu Pahit river valley, the large lava flows are coeval with phreato-magmatic activity, and this postdates development of the volcanic edifice as evidenced by the complete lack of altered material in the cone-building deposits and their unconformable relationships, where in contact. Interestingly, this change in activity does not coincide with a change in bulk-rock composition. 2.2. Crater lake and Banyu Pahit river The summit crater of Kawah Ijen volcano is occupied by a lake of oxidized hyperacidic brine with a total dissolved solid load of N100 g/kg. This fluid is extremely aggressive in its interaction with rock due to its high acidity and F-content (Delmelle and Bernard, 1994, 2000; Sumarti, 1998; Takano et al., 2004; this work). The crater lake brine seeps through the western flank of the volcano to form the headwaters of the equally acidic Banyu Pahit river (Fig. 1). Where it emerges, this water rapidly saturates in gypsum due to evaporation, which has led to the development of a large gypsum plateau, culminating in a gypsum covered terraced slope 50 m wide and 100 m long. The Banyu Pahit subsequently flows down a steepsided valley in-between Kawah Ijen and Papak volcanoes (Fig. 1). It is not continuous, however, twice disappearing into the riverbed (see the preceding contribution). The discharge of the third set of springs exceeds that of the previous springs and is maintained downstream of this site to the waterfall at Watucapil. These springs are therefore interpreted to be the main source of water in the Banyu Pahit river and, considering their location, this water may not represent direct seepage from the lake. Along its length, the Banyu Pahit passes through a variety of deposits as described above, although it flows mainly on top of an andesitic lava that is exposed at the rapids site and Watucapil. The valley is broad where the riverbed is made up of lava but narrows to a canyon where it flows through pyroclastic and phreatic material. 171 3. Methods Samples of fresh and altered magmatic material, and hyperacidic lake and Banyu Pahit river water were collected at various localities at Kawah Ijen volcano during fieldwork in 1999, 2007, 2008 and 2009 (Fig. 1). Unaltered material, representative of all major Kawah Ijen lava flows as identified on the Ijen caldera geological map (Sujanto et al., 1989), was sampled, as well as a subset of scoria deposits, volcanic bombs and small lava flows. Altered material was sampled in the riverbed of the Banyu Pahit river and from ballistics strewn on the summit area of the volcano and present in phreatic deposits on its outer flanks. These samples include two detailed in-situ transects of progressively altered rock and their unaltered lava precursor. The first of these suites consists of the concentric alteration layers developed on a lava flow in the Banyu Pahit riverbed just below the dam (Fig. 3b in the accompanying contribution). The second transect was sampled at the Banyu Pahit rapids site (Fig. 1) and consists of a continuous section of 14 samples from unaltered lava on either side of the river to its altered equivalent below the water level. This setting is characteristic of the riverbed for most of the Banyu Pahit river between the third set of springs and Watucapil. Crater lake water was sampled at the foot of the active dome and at the dam on the western end of the lake. Water samples of the Banyu Pahit river were taken from several of the uppermost springs below the dam, at the rapids site and just before the waterfall at Watucapil (Fig. 1). Groundwater was collected on the southern flank of Widadaren volcano, where it emerges from a porous scoria deposit, and a sample of rainwater was obtained on the southern flank of the Ijen caldera during the 2009 field season. The bulk-rock composition was determined by XRF for 1999 samples and ICP-OES/MS for 2007 samples. XRF analyses were conducted at the Faculty of Earth and Life Sciences, Free University, Amsterdam. Samples were crushed in a tungsten-carbide jaw-crusher before being powdered in an agate ball mill. In between samples, quartz sand was milled to clean the equipment. Major element concentrations were determined on fused beads prepared from fired powder (fired at 1000 °C with LOI determined by weighing) with Li-borate flux, whereas trace element concentrations were determined on pressed pellets of non-fired rock powder. Both beads and pellets were analysed with a Philips PW1404 sequential XRF spectrometer. Duplicates and BCR1, GSP1 and BHVO1 standards were analysed to determine precision and accuracy respectively. The ICPOES/MS analyses were carried out at the Geochemical Laboratory of Utrecht University in the Netherlands. The samples were ground manually in an agate mortar and dissolved by hot HClO4–HF–HNO3 acid digestion. Major element concentrations were analysed by ICPOES at a range of dilutions, and trace element concentrations by ICPMS. Duplicates and the ISE921 standard were digested and analysed to determine the precision and accuracy of the full routine. In addition to the bulk-rock samples, glass veins and skins of glass enclosing a large (2 cm long) plagioclase phenocryst from a volcanic bomb sampled on the summit (KV08-501), and a glass globule from the active dome (KV08-702), were also analysed; the glass in both samples represents a pristine, vesicular melt virtually devoid of microlites. The composition of the glass was determined by electron microprobe WDS on a JEOL 8900 microprobe at the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, McGill University using a 15 kV acceleration voltage, 4 nA beam current and 10 μm defocussed beam, calibrating on a set of natural andesitic and rhyolitic glasses. Water samples were filtered in the field using 0.45 μm nitrocellulose filters and stored in completely filled HDPE bottles. Rainwater was collected using a funnel. Duplicates were taken at each sample site. Ground- and rainwater were acidified using trace metal grade nitric acid. This was not necessary for Banyu Pahit and crater lake samples, because their pH was below 0.5 as determined at the sample site in a 100 times dilution using a standard pH-electrode (see also 172 V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 Table 1 Water properties and compositions of the Kawah Ijen crater lake and Banyu Pahit river.

Air and water temperatures were measured using a type-K thermocouple. Discharge was estimated by measuring the dimensions of the riverbed, and obtaining a flow rate by timing bamboo floats passing a measured section of river. The time needed to fill a fixed volume was used to estimate the discharge for smaller springs. In 2009, we obtained more precise discharge measurements using standard hydrological die-dilution and flow-meter techniques (Palmer et al., submitted for publication). Water samples were analysed at the Geochemical Laboratory of Utrecht University in 1999 and 2007, and Geoscience Laboratories of the Ontario Geological Survey in 2009. Major element concentrations were determined by ICP-OES and trace element concentrations by ICP-MS. A variety of dilutions was used to cover the range of element concentrations in the waters and to check for enhancement or suppression effects (none were observed). Anions were analysed by ion chromatography in 1999 and 2009, and by ICP-OES in 2007. Arsenic and selenium were analysed separately using a collision cell arrangement in the ICP-MS, introducing 1 ml min− 1 He and 4 ml min− 1 H2 to remove Ar-dimer and Ar–Cl mass interference. 4. Results Table 1 lists the fluid composition, pH and temperature at the various sample sites. pH values given were obtained by direct measurement on 100 times diluted water (pH meas) and calculated from water composition using the Pitzer model (pH calc). The latter approach provides the best estimate of the activity of free H+ in the solution (cf. Pitzer, 1973) and hence the true pH. However, this value is a poor measure of the acidity, because a significant fraction of the H+ is associated in these waters (mainly as HSO− 4 , calculated with the Pitzer model using FactSage—Bale et al., 2002) and there is therefore a large reservoir that supplies acid to the solution as free H+ is consumed during reactions with the host rocks. By diluting the sample 100 times, this associated H+ is released and the measured pH is therefore a more appropriate measure of the acidity of these fluids. The fluid properties and compositions are similar to those reported by Delmelle and Bernard (1994, 2000), Takano et al. (2004) and Löhr et al. (2005), and the deviations are within the seasonal variability observed by Sumarti (1998). The compositional differences observed among years for the acid spring waters in our study are due to different springs having been sampled every year. This is probably also the reason for the differences with earlier works (cf. Delmelle and Bernard, 1994, 2000; Takano et al., 2004). We have recognized 6 main areas of discharge below the dam, as well as many smaller ones, and these springs shift location and vary in discharge between years. Despite this upstream variability, downstream compositions, as well as lake water chemistry are remarkably similar among 1999, 2007 and 2009. Concentrations decrease from the crater lake downstream (with the exception of Ti and Cu), whereas pH increases. Water temperature closely follows air temperature except right at the spring outflow. The precision of the results, as estimated from field and laboratory duplicates is better than 5% for major elements and 10% for trace elements, except for Be at 20% and Sb at 13%. Accuracy is better than 10% relative. Bulk-rock compositions are reported in Table 2. The precision of the XRF analyses as determined from laboratory duplicates is better than 3% relative for the oxides and better than 6% for trace elements above 5 ppm. Accuracy relative to BCR1, GSP1 and BHVO1 is better than 5% relative for oxides and 10% for trace elements above 5 ppm. For concentrations below 5 ppm, the combined accuracy and precision is better than 80% relative. Precision for the 2007 analyses is better than 10% relative, with the exception of Be, Sb and Li which have an associated uncertainty of 20%, 13% and 12% respectively. Accuracy is better than 10% relative as determined against ISE921. The variability in glass compositions as determined from multiple analyses is b15% relative for all cations except Mn at 50% and P at 25%. The Nb content of these glasses was estimated from the total alkali—silica—Nb vector, which has an associated goodness-of-fit R2 of better than 0.98 for all unaltered samples analysed. 5. The juvenile magmatic deposits at Kawah Ijen The fresh magmatic deposits at Kawah Ijen are remarkably similar in mineralogy and texture despite their large range in bulk compositions, which extends from basalt to dacite, varying mainly in the proportions of the constituent minerals. The phenocrysts are concentrically zoned plagioclase and clino-pyroxene, titanomagnetite with ülvospinel exsolution lamellae, and olivine in basaltic rocks. These phenocrysts commonly cluster forming a glomero-porphyritic texture. Ortho-pyroxene is also common, dominantly as a symplectitic intergrowth with magnetite after olivine. Olivine relicts are present in andesite, but are invariably rimmed by ortho-pyroxene. A phlogopite inclusion was found in one such olivine. The matrix consists of glass with abundant microlites, aligned with a flow texture around the phenocrysts. Apatite is abundant as an accessory phase in the matrix and as inclusions. The compositional variability of juvenile magmatic deposits is shown in Fig. 2, in which Nb is used as a differentiation index. The magmatic trend is remarkably regular, and extends from basalt to rhyolite. The initial cone-building episodes of activity at Kawah Ijen are restricted to basalt to andesite compositions, as are the large lava flows, except for a dacite flow at the dam, whereas the compositions of recent volcanic bombs and glasses (including those from the active dome) extend to rhyolite. These trends are consistent with those reported previously for the Ijen caldera complex as a whole (Sitorus, 1990; Handley et al., 2007), and reflect progressive fractionation of olivine, clino-pyroxene, Ti-magnetite and plagioclase. Mingling textures as well as the presence of glass veins in recent bombs, however, also suggest an important role for mixing. 6. The effect of alteration on bulk-rock chemistry Alteration at Kawah Ijen volcano is characterised by dissolution of titanomagnetite and olivine, and replacement of glass, plagioclase, and pyroxene by fine-grained silica devoid of other elements (see the preceding contribution). This constitutes extreme chemical leaching of these rocks, an observation that is borne out by the bulk-rock chemistry of the altered samples, which display a strong decrease in element concentrations relative to the unaltered magmatic precursors (Fig. 2). In these diagrams, niobium is used as the alteration index element as it displays the most conservative behaviour during progressive alteration of Kawah Ijen magmatic deposits. It is expected to reside dominantly in the ülvospinel based on its partitioning behaviour (cf. GERM KD database—www.earthref.org), and this is the most persistent phase during alteration (see the preceding contribution). It will also have an even stronger chemical affinity for the Ti-oxide phase that develops upon alteration of the ülvospinel (GERM KD database—www.earthref.org). The main alternative as an alteration index would be Zr and the Zr:Nb ratio is indeed constant for most of the altered samples. However, in the most intensely altered samples the Zr:Nb ratio decreases, indicating removal of Zr from the rock. Niobium is not conservative for all altered samples, as is evident from the alteration transect collected at the dam. In these samples, which represent the most strongly altered samples identified at Kawah Ijen, the Ti-oxide lamellae also dissolve, thereby releasing the Nb. No element showed conservative behaviour in these samples. The alteration trends display a marked divergence from the magmatic evolution, with altered samples enriched in SiO2, TiO2, Zr, Nb, Sn, Sb and Pb, and depleted in all other elements (Fig. 2). Moreover, the changes in composition are consistent with progressive alteration as evident in the in-situ Banyu Pahit transect sample suites. V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 177 Fig. 2. Compositional variability in unaltered (outlined by black ellipse) and altered samples at Kawah Ijen. Trends for two progressive alteration transects are marked with grey arrows, and these generally show markedly different behaviour than the magmatic trend (e.g. Na2O). With the exception of Pb and Si, all elements are leached with progressive alteration. Grey solid squares represent glass analyses, all other samples are bulk analyses. The uncertainty shown is the 1 standard deviation on the element and Nb as determined from duplicate analyses. Although only lava samples were measured, the other magmatic deposits at Kawah Ijen, dominated by scoria, contain the same minerals and textures as the lava samples. They also display identical alteration textures and mineralogy, although the extent of alteration is more pronounced due to porosity increasing the surface area, and their commonly higher glass content. The chemical trends observed for lava alteration should therefore apply equally to the other magmatic deposits. 6.1. Alteration in the Banyu Pahit riverbed The Banyu Pahit alteration transects provide the clearest picture of the impact of alteration on bulk-rock chemistry. For both sample suites, the composition of the fresh magmatic precursor has been clearly established and predictably coincides with the intersection of the alteration and magmatic trends (e.g. for Al2O3 and Na2O—Fig. 2b, d). In the case of the dam suite, the precursor is a thin basalt flow belonging to the cone-building stage of Kawah Ijen volcano, whereas the andesite in the Banyu Pahit riverbed at the rapids represents a large lava flow that descended through the valley. This flow is the dominant bedrock in the Banyu Pahit river between the dam and the waterfall at Watucapil and is further compositionally similar to the majority of other unaltered material exposed in the river valley. The alteration at the rapids is therefore taken to be representative of the dominant alteration in the upstream part of the Banyu Pahit valley. Additional altered rocks from the Banyu Pahit valley at the dam show similar variations in bulk-rock chemistry to the sample suite at the rapids, and extend the trend defined by the latter samples, in agreement with textural observations that they are more altered. The precursors of these samples are undefined as they represent loose 178 V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 blocks in the river valley and the fresh magmatic deposits exposed on the flanks and floor of the valley span almost the entire range of bulk compositions from basalt to dacite. However, the strong chemical affinity of sample KV99-850 (Nb = 6 ppm) to the alteration transect at the dam indicates a common precursor, and a similar case can be made for samples that plot on the trend defined by the rapids alteration suite. The remaining samples define a trend that is mostly parallel to the rapids alteration sequence, suggesting a more evolved precursor. Three trends are observed in the bulk-rock alteration of the rapids suite (Fig. 2) corresponding to strong leaching, which is the dominant process, enrichment, which is observed for SiO2, Sn, Sb and especially Pb (from 10 to 260 ppm), and enrichment followed by depletion, which is most obvious in K2O, Rb and Ba. For the most altered samples, leaching even approaches completion for several elements (e.g. Al, Ca, Co and Cu). This behaviour fits well with the textural and mineralogical observations that indicate complete replacement of the rock by an amorphous mass of silica. At the most advanced alteration stage, dissolution of ülvospinel, and eventually the Ti-oxide that formed from it, was also observed, and this is in agreement with the decrease in Ti and Nb content found in the most intensely altered samples, including the dam alteration suite. Precipitation of barite in these samples is reflected in a higher Ba content compared to that of the general leaching trend. 6.2. Alteration of the ballistic samples The altered ballistics exhibit a wide range of chemical behaviour in agreement with strong variations in their texture, mineralogy and style Fig. 3. Absolute changes in bulk-rock composition for the alteration transect at the Banyu Pahit rapids site anchored to the unaltered composition (solid square). With the exception of Pb, Sn and Sb, all elements are progressively leached from the rock. A weighted least-squares best fit curve through these points is shown by the grey arrow. The error box represents the 1 standard deviation uncertainty on the element and Nb normalization as determined from duplicates. V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 of alteration (see the preceding contribution). Samples containing Alsulphate precipitates are enriched in Al2O3 and the alkalis compared to samples of equivalent alteration, and further show non-systematic behaviour for many of the other elements. Loss of Nb also affected two of the samples. The chemistry of these ballistics therefore does not provide information on the alteration-induced changes in their bulk composition. The samples showing sulphidation of titanomagnetite during alteration (see the accompanying contribution for more details) are more consistent. For most elements, they plot within, or close to the magmatic trend, suggesting only a limited modification of their bulk chemistry during alteration. This is especially striking for Al2O3 and Na2O (Fig. 2b,d), which are highly mobile in the other altered samples. However, this limited chemical alteration of the rocks is in sharp contrast to their mineralogy and textures, as they display intense alteration of the matrix glass and phenocrysts, comparable to the most altered samples in the rapids alteration suite. The absence of the expected associated chemical leaching suggests that these samples somehow retained their element load and were subjected to a relatively closed-system alteration style. The inherited high Ti and Mn content in pyrite after titanomagnetite (see the preceding contribution) supports such a limited chemical mobility scenario. 7. Element fluxes 7.1. Absolute changes in rock chemistry The changes in bulk-rock chemistry as observed in the altered rocks are (partially) controlled by residual enrichment effects as progressively more elements are leached. To account for this residual enrichment, we normalized the compositions of the rapids alteration suite to its unaltered precursor using the respective Nb contents; Cnormalised = Cmeasured ⋅ Nbprecursor : Nbsample This procedure could not be applied to the other altered samples, due to the absence of a conservative element (e.g. the dam alteration suite) or uncertainty over the identity of their precursors. Normalized compositions show that leaching completely dominates alteration and that the increasing concentrations of SiO2, TiO2, K2O, Rb, Ba, Zr and Hf are, indeed, the result of residual enrichment 179 (Fig. 3). Only Pb, Sn and Sb show progressive absolute enrichment during alteration, with Pb undergoing a 15-fold increase in concentration. In the case of Pb, this enrichment can be linked to the precipitation of barite in the altered rock, which is saturated in the river water as determined from thermodynamic calculations (Delmelle and Bernard, 2000; this work) and has been found to contain up to 2.5 wt.% PbO (see Table 1 in the preceding paper). However, as Ba is leached from the rock, the precipitation of barite must be limited by another constituent, most likely Pb. The host phase accounting for the elevated Sb and Sn content has not been identified. The behaviour of the elements during progressive alteration varied appreciably, with some being preferentially leached at an early stage (e.g. Ca, Al2O3, Cu, Cs, Li, and REE), and others being retained up to the final stages of alteration (K, Rb, TiO2, Zr, Hf, U, and Th). These variations in the rate of alteration are linked to the dominant host phase(s) in the original magmatic precursor. The incompatible elements Li, Cs, Cu and the REE are enriched in the glass, which is the first phase to be altered. An-rich plagioclase is altered subsequently, which explains the early, preferential release of Ca and Al. The resistance of K and Rb is somewhat surprising, as these elements are expected to reside preferentially in the glass. It is possible that the alunite/jarosite precipitates that were observed in several of the altered samples (Fig. 4d in the preceding paper) retain part of the K and Rb content and this could explain the apparent resistance of these elements to alteration. The late-stage leaching of Zr, Hf, U and Th indicates that these elements are contained in a highly resistant phase, most likely zircon, which was observed as an accessory phase in the andesite. Similar behaviour is observed for TiO2, consistent with the persistence of ülvospinel and Ti-oxide. The behaviour of P is erratic, although it shows an overall gradual decrease with progressive alteration. This, together with textural observations, indicates that apatite is not particularly resistant to alteration, but that its breakdown, and associated P release, is mainly controlled by access of the acid water to apatite inclusions. The REE behave similarly during alteration with the exception of Eu. Initial leaching of the REE is rapid, followed by a gradual decrease in removal and retention of approximately 30% of the REE budget, due probably to their residence in zircon, which resists alteration. Europium, on the other hand, shows a continuous, nearly linear decrease with progressive alteration. This produces a positive Eu anomaly in the moderately altered samples and a strong negative Eu anomaly in the most altered samples (Fig. 4a). The gradual release of Fig. 4. Chondrite-normalized concentrations of the REE in the two alteration suites (a) and the resulting REE release from the initial to intermediate stages of alteration, the intermediate to final stages of alteration and for complete alteration (b). Leaching of Eu initially lags behind, resulting in a small positive Eu anomaly in the moderately altered material. Subsequent preferential leaching of Eu produces a strongly negative anomaly. The element input observed in the Banyu Pahit (solid black line in b) is most consistent with complete alteration. 180 V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 Eu in the early stages of alteration compared to the more rapid leaching of the other REE is interpreted to be related to its more compatible behaviour during crystallisation, by virtue of its preference for a valence of two, and therefore a lower concentration of Eu in the easily leached matrix glass. 7.2. Alteration element flux To quantify the release of elements during progressive alteration, the absolute concentration data were fit using a least-squares method, weighted by the analytical uncertainty on individual values and anchored to the composition of the precursor lava. This fit was then used to calculate the composition of moderately and intensely altered material (Nbi/Nb0 alteration index = 1.31 and 1.62 respectively). The differences in composition between these two “end-members” and the unaltered precursor allow us to calculate the absolute element release or uptake associated with alteration from fresh rock to moderately altered material (immature alteration), moderately to intensely altered material (mature alteration) and the complete alteration from fresh to intensely altered rock (Table 3). Fit values were preferred over using actual samples, because of scatter relating to heterogeneous preferred alteration along cracks, which could not be excluded in bulk-rock analyses. It also allows an uncertainty to be attributed to the element release/uptake reflecting the scatter around the fit. As discussed above, a reasonable assumption can be made about the nature of the precursor of the majority of the altered samples in the riverbed of the Banyu Pahit at the dam using their affinity to the in-situ alteration suites. The resulting absolute element change calculated for these samples is in excellent agreement with the fit obtained on the rapids transect, indicating that the element release and uptake values presented in Table 3 are representative of alteration at Kawah Ijen. In contrast, the absolute change in composition obtained for the sulphidised ballistics, assuming that they have a similar precursor in terms of Nb content, is markedly different. The limited change in Nb content suggests that alteration is immature, which is in sharp contrast to the advanced alteration textures and mineralogy of these samples. Furthermore, leaching is markedly less pronounced for most elements compared to that observed in all other samples, including for highly mobile elements such as Na and Al, and no systematic host phase related behaviour is observed among elements. This results in these samples mostly plotting within the magmatic trend rather than showing alteration behaviour (Fig. 2). We therefore conclude that these samples, which we propose are derived from the hydrothermal system (see the preceding contribution), do not reflect leaching masked by residual enrichment, but represent a distinct style of alteration that is accompanied by insignificant element release.

Changes in fluid chemistry Downstream changes in the water chemistry of the Banyu Pahit river from the lake to the waterfall at Watucapil are dominated by dilution as is evident in the behaviour of the conservative components Cl, F and SO4 (Table 1 and Delmelle and Bernard, 2000). The major caveat in this assessment is that the river is not continuous from the lake to Watucapil. Estimates of discharge show that seepage in the area of the uppermost springs is significantly smaller than the discharge at the third set of springs (2008 and 2009 observations). It is therefore unclear whether the composition of the crater lake water is representative of the principal source of waters in the Banyu Pahit river. However, assuming that changes in water chemistry are dominated by dilution and water–rock interaction, whether they occur in the riverbed, or en-route to the surface, we can interpret the water samples as one system. Cpredicted = Cupstream ⋅ Asample −Agroundwater Aupstream −Agroundwater + Cgroundwater ⋅ 1− Asample −Agroundwater Aupstream −Agroundwater ! where A is the concentration of a conservative anion (F, Cl and SO4 were used as conservative anions and the mean Cpredicted was used in further calculations. Values calculated from F, Cl and SO4 are highly consistent). Calculations were performed for river water compositions obtained in 1999, 2007 and 2009, as well as a “preferred model” that uses average compositions of spring and river water. Results for different years are similar and for most elements within the propagated compositional uncertainty. Subtracting the predicted (i.e. dilution-corrected) composition from the measured composition V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 181 Fig. 5. Downstream changes in river water composition (black symbols) and predicted compositions from simple dilution (grey line). Concentrations decrease downstream, but most elements are enriched in the river water compared to simple dilution (except for Pb, Sn and Sb) as a result of water–rock interaction. reveals any additional changes in composition that would be the result of water–rock interaction and mineral precipitation. Results of these calculations show that there is a consistent addition of elements to the river as it makes its way downstream, most notably of aluminium, iron and the alkalis (Fig. 5). However, lead, tin and antimony are significantly removed. This signature is perfectly complementary to that observed for progressive alteration of the rocks of the Banyu Pahit riverbed (Table 3), indicating that water–rock interaction controls the dilution-corrected changes in Banyu Pahit river water composition. The largest changes are observed between the springs at the dam and the river at the rapids, with only a minor change in composition being evident from the rapids to the waterfall at Watucapil. This could reflect the drastic change in river valley morphology at the rapids. Up to this point, the Banyu Pahit descends rapidly through steep-sided valleys and intersects a diversity of deposits ranging from lahars to scoria to lava. In contrast, from the rapids to Watucapil, the river flows on top of a lava flow in a broad valley with only a limited gradient, thereby limiting its interaction with fresh material. 7.4. Water–rock interaction Dilution-corrected changes in water chemistry show excellent, complementary agreement in chemical signature with the signature of element release during rock alteration, and this is consistent over six orders of magnitude in concentration. Moreover, comparison of the two signatures in a log–log plot (Fig. 6) yields the expected 1:1 relationship, within error, and this relationship has been maintained for a period of at least ten years (i.e. from the initial fieldwork in 1999 to the most recent sampling in 2009). The agreement is observed both for the elements leached from the rock, and, crucially, also for Pb, Sn and Sb, which are added. Water–rock interaction therefore provides a Fig. 6. Comparison of rock alteration element release versus the change in river water composition for the entire upstream Banyu Pahit (a), and the rapids to Watucapil sub-section (b). Good agreement is observed for a wide range of elements and over 6 orders of magnitude in concentration. The best fit curve and its associated 1 standard deviation error envelop are also shown. 182 V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 better explanation for observed changes than simple rock dissolution, because Sb, Sn and Pb would be released in the latter case. Good agreement is also found for sub-sections of the river (e.g. the rapids to Watucapil) although the small change in river water composition leads to large uncertainty in the values (Fig. 6b). However, this part of the river is important as it represents the best constrained section, with the river flowing continuously on the same andesite lava flow with no apparent major additional contributions of water. The agreement in results for the various sections indicates that, aside from dilution, alteration-related element release exerts the dominant control on changes in the water chemistry. A best fit is obtained between changes in water composition and element release during total-rock alteration (R2 = 0.97), rather than element release during immature or mature alteration. Furthermore, the REE signature suggests against mature alteration as the dominant contributor (Fig. 4b), whereas K deviates significantly for immature element release. Given that the Banyu Pahit river flows over a riverbed of highly altered material for its entire upstream length, this indicates that fresh material must be added to the river continuously, as otherwise a best fit with mature alteration would be expected. Such continuous addition of material is, indeed, observed in the form of common rock falls from the steep-sided canyons of the upstream Banyu Pahit, as well as material washing into the river during rainfall. The element that deviates most strongly from the trend in Fig. 6 is Ba. This reflects saturation of the Banyu Pahit water in barite as discussed above. assumed that alteration products are continuously removed by dissolution or erosion, 210 years of alteration would correspond to 1.1 approximately 2.5 + − 0.8 m of valley incision downstream from the 4.5 rapids for a 3 m wide alteration zone, and 12.5 + − 3.3 m in the upstream section. Although such rapid incision could be true for the upstream steep-sided sections of the river where it transects pyroclastic and phreatic deposits, there is no evidence for incision on this scale into the lava flows that make up most of the Banyu Pahit's riverbed. In fact, historical photographs suggest that the river has not incised itself at all into the andesite lava flow at the rapids in the last 100 years (e.g. Kemmerling, 1921). For the downstream section, the river is confined entirely to this lava flow and even a modest incision of 2.5 m is incompatible with field observations. Furthermore, a mature alteration signature would be expected if a static or valley incision scenario was to apply, because the riverbed would be primarily made up of strongly altered material. In contrast, we find best agreement between changes in rock and water chemistry for total-rock alteration. We therefore conclude that most of the required rock input is derived externally, from material falling and sliding into the river from the valley slopes. There is abundant evidence that this is a common process in the Banyu Pahit valley, with new slumps, slides and rock falls observed every field season, some of which are tens of metres wide. The predominance of steep valley walls in the river section upstream of the rapids and the higher alteration rates in this section of river also support this interpretation. 8. Lake water chemistry 7.5. Water–rock ratios and alteration rate The slope in Fig. 6 defines the water–rock ratio of the alteration. 1119 Excluding Ba yields a rock- to water ratio of 2512 + − 774 (median and upper and lower inter-quartile range) for the Banyu Pahit river from 86 the rapids to Watucapil, and 234 + − 63 for the full upstream section to Watucapil when using the average water compositions for springs and Banyu Pahit. Results for individual years are within error of these values. These water–rock ratios are markedly different to those that would be obtained for a model assuming simple dissolution of the andesite (cf. Delmelle and Bernard, 1994). Using our most precise measurement of Banyu Pahit discharge as determined at the rapids by die-dilution and flow-meter measurements (46 ± 6 l/s—Palmer et al., submitted for publication), this translates to an alteration rate of 18 g of fresh rock per second for the rapids to Watucapil, and 0.20 kg s− 1 for the full length of the upstream Banyu Pahit. In the river section from the rapids to Watucapil, the Banyu Pahit river flows continuously on a bedrock of andesite lava, and is reasonably constant in its dimensions. The total length of the river in this section is 6 km, and assuming a width of the altered riverbed of 2 m and a thickness of the alteration zone in the bedrock of 10 cm as observed in the field, the total volume of altered riverbed equals 1208 m3, or 3.2 Gg when assuming an andesite density of 2660 kg m− 3 (Johnson and Olhoeft, 1984). This estimate of the altered rock mass is a minimum value given that the riverbed contains abundant boulders and rock fragments, which significantly increase the surface area exposed to alteration. A similar assessment for the full 8.9 km of river from the dam to Watucapil, assuming a 2 m wide alteration zone of 10 cm thickness, yields a total altered rock volume of 1772 m3, or 4.7 Gg. Based on this volume and the alteration rate 11 obtained above, we calculate that it would take just 6 + − 4 years to totally alter the riverbed of the Banyu Pahit to a depth of 10 cm from 3.5 the rapids to Watucapil and 0.8 + − 0.5 years in the upstream section of the river (uncertainties include the uncertainty on water–rock ratio and a, generous, factor two uncertainty on altered rock mass in the riverbed). The above timescale does not agree with historical evidence, which shows that this system has been stable for at least 210 years (“Oudgast”, 1820; Hengeveld, 1920; Kemmerling, 1921). If it is The composition of the Kawah Ijen crater lake is controlled by a complex interplay between element input from volcanic gas, rock alteration, rain- and groundwater, and output through mineral precipitation, evaporation and seepage. Delmelle and Bernard (1994) showed that the volcanic gas controls the anion input, and is responsible for the singularly low pH in this system. On the other hand, the cations are derived primarily from rock alteration, be it directly or through an intermediate hydrothermal system. Groundwater and rain are important contributors of water. Their modelling of the major element composition of lake water and Kawah Ijen andesite suggests that approximately 60 g of rock are dissolved per kg of lake water. We have taken a similar approach to Delmelle and Bernard (1994), but have included a much wider range of elements, and compared a variety of Kawah Ijen lava compositions. Our results indicate that a best fit is obtained for Kawah Ijen andesite lava (Fig. 7), with the goodness-of-fit gradually decreasing towards more mafic compositions and rapidly towards more evolved material. Because the most recent magmatic deposits of Kawah Ijen volcano, including the active dome, progress towards rhyolite, this result indicates that the latter material is not a major contributor to the chemistry of the lake water. As discussed above, simple whole rock dissolution does not provide a full description of water–rock interaction at Kawah Ijen. Given that alteration of andesite best fits the lake chemistry, we can use the alteration input derived from the Banyu Pahit riverbed and apply this to the lake. A best fit is obtained for total-rock alteration, suggesting that the addition of material to the lake is dominated by fresh rock. Moreover, it is markedly inconsistent with an element input derived from the alteration observed in the sulphide-bearing ballistics, in particular in terms of Na and K the input of which is two orders of magnitude lower than observed, and most of the trace elements that are two to three orders of magnitude higher. We therefore conclude that the dominant source of cations for the lake is alteration of its wall rock, especially the material added to the lake in rock falls, which occur daily. Based on this conclusion, the corresponding water–rock ratio is 52.5 ± 2.3 g of fresh rock per kg of lake water, and this is highly consistent for different parts of the lake, different years and over 6 orders of magnitude in concentration. Using this value, a conical shape V. van Hinsberg et al. / Journal of Volcanology and Geothermal Research 196 (2010) 169–184 183 Fig. 7. Comparison of crater lake water chemistry with that of unaltered andesite lava (sample KV99-75). There is excellent agreement over six order of magnitude in concentration, between years (1999 and 2007), and between sample sites. The elements depleted in the lake are incompletely released during alteration and mineral precipitation, whereas the enriched elements are derived from the volcanic fluid input. for the lake with 250 m average exposure from the lake level to the cliff edge and a lower and upper diameter of 800 and 1000 m, respectively, gives a slope erosion rate of 2.6 cm yr− 1. Although high, such an erosion rate is not unreasonable for steep cliffs (Saunders and Young, 1983; Hapke et al., 2007). The use of the actual alteration element release removes the depletion observed in Zr and Hf, because these are largely retained during alteration. It does, however, produce an even stronger deviation in Pb, Sn, and Sb, as these elements are sequestered during alteration, but enriched in the lake water. As volcanic fluids are a major contributor to the composition of the lake and account for its high anion content, which cannot be derived from the rocks, they are a likely source for these elements. Preliminary analyses of condensates from the Kawah Ijen fumaroles collected in 2007 (van Hinsberg et al., in press) indicate that this source is indeed specifically enriched in Sb, Pb and Sn. However, the relative concentrations of these elements do not directly match their relative enrichment in the lake, and the expected accompanying enrichment in Cu and Zn based on condensate data, is not observed. The remaining deviations in concentration from the trend in Fig. 6 can be explained by mineral precipitation. Cristobalite, anatase, barite and gypsum have been observed as precipitates in lake sediment, and thermodynamic modelling suggests additional saturation in covellite (Delmelle and Bernard, 1994, 2000; our work). These findings indicate that the lake water derives its cation content principally from the material falling into the lake, rather than from the hydrothermal system directly. This does not rule out a contribution from the hydrothermal system, but simply shows that it does not control the composition of the lake water. A cartoon of our preferred model for the Kawah Ijen crater lake system is shown in Fig. 8. 9. Conclusions and implications Rock alteration at Kawah Ijen volcano by hyperacidic crater lake and Banyu Pahit river waters is characterised by the near-complete leaching of elements. The end-product of this alteration is a rock dominated by silica, and developing porosity as silica itself is removed during the final stages of alteration. These textural and chemical features are typical of silicic alteration in high-sulphidation mineralizing environments. However, we do not observe the typical element Fig. 8. Schematic model for Kawah Ijen crater lake system (subsurface modified after Hedenquist and Lowenstern, 1994). Horizontal and vertical scales (in m) are correct for surface topography, but the subsurface is schematic. The lake receives its water dominantly from rain and groundwater, its anions from volatiles emitted by a magmatic body at depth and its cations from rock falls. We assume a skewed hydrothermal system due to dominant E to W groundwater flow from Merapi volcano. association observed in high-sulphidation ores. There is indeed strong preferential enrichment in Pb, Sn and Sb, but Cu, the characteristic element in these ores, is leached. Water–rock interaction with highsulphidation hyperacidic fluids therefore does not appear to be able to produce the associated ore deposits directly, despite producing the characteristic alteration style. Instead, alteration and mineralization appear to be decoupled, in agreement with results from ore element fluxes in volcanic emissions (Hedenquist and Lowenstern, 1994). Changes in river water composition are controlled by dilution with neutral groundwater and water–rock interaction. The latter is characterised by element addition, indicating that the Banyu Pahit water is undersaturated with respect to most elements. Mass balance calculations, as well as the lack of a mature alteration signature, indicate that the majority of material being altered is derived from fresh rocks falling into the river from the valley flanks, or being washed in by rain. The same conclusion can be drawn for the crater lake, which has a signature that is notably inconsistent with control on cation chemistry by the hydrothermal system. This conclusion has important implications in that it decouples the lake composition from the magmatic–hydrothermal system beneath the lake in terms of cations. This means that variations in the cation composition of the lake cannot be used to monitor volcanic activity at Kawah Ijen.
