With ultrasonic wave transmission-reflection combined method, measurement of compressional wave velocities (vp) of bojite was carried out up to 1 085℃ at the pressure of 0.6 GPa, 1.0 GPa and 2.0 GPa respectively. Based on investigating the partially molten products, the authors calculated the vp of bojite at different pressures and temperatures with volume percentages and elastic parameters of minerals and melt. The calculations show the same vp-t correlations with experiment runs, which indicate that at first vp decreases slowly with increasing temperature, and then decreases quickly above about 800℃ to 900℃ at different pressures. The investigations of the products indicate that bojite is dehydrated and partially molten when the temperature is higher than 812℃ at 0.6 GPa, 865℃ at 1.0 GPa and 919℃ at 2.0 GPa respectively. It is believed that partial melting is responsible for quick decrease of vp at high temperature. There is more quick decrease of vp of bojite when volume percentages of melt are lower than about 2%. It is thus held that water and melt with low viscosity result in the sharp decrease of vp, because it is easy for them to move into the microfissures in nature rock at the beginning of dehydration and partial melting.
