Thermal equation of state (EoS) of synthetic lawsonite [CaAl 2 Si 2 O 7 (OH) 2 ·H 2 O] has been established using insitu X-ray diffraction methods under high pressure and high temperature. Sodium chloride NaCl was used as the pressure standard in the experiments. The unit-cell volumes were measured up to 10 GPa and 973 K after the deviatric stress was released at high temperature. The P-V-T dataset was analyzed using a Birch-Murnaghan equation of state, yielding the room pressure volume V 0 = 674.2(2) Å 3 and the isothermal bulk modulus at room temperature K 0 = 129(2) GPa (K′ set to 4). These values are comparable with the previous studies. When fitting the high temperature data, a second order temperature derivative of the bulk modulus was considered. Unlike Daneil et al. (1999) who reported a minimum value of bulk modulus at~500 K, the bulk modulus decreases with increasing temperature at least up to 973 K. The dataset yields:, assuming K′ = 4. These data can be used to calculate the density and the stability of lawsonite under high pressure and high temperature conditions.
