The exsolution of volatile phases from silicate magmas controls physical and chemical magma properties and influences large-scale geologic phenomena and processes having major societal and economic implications including the release of climate-altering gases to the atmosphere, the explosivity of volcanic eruptions, hydrothermal alteration, and the generation of magmatic–hydrothermal mineralization. These volatile phases exsolve from a wide variety of magmas and cover a very broad spectrum of compositions.
The transition from the orthomagmatic to the hydrothermal stages has important bearing on these fundamentally important geologic phenomena, and this report summarizes the published results of a dozen scientific investigations on the magmatic–hydrothermal transition as applied to volcanic eruption and magmatic–hydrothermal mineralization. These studies involve a variety of analytical and experimental methodologies, and many focus on fluid and melt inclusions from mineralized magmatic systems. A primary goal of each study is to better understand the role of magmatic volatiles and the importance of the magmatic–hydrothermal transition on these geologic processes. 相似文献
Formation of Artefacts and its Suppression during the Determination of Volatile Halogenated Hydrocarbons in Water by Means of Headspace Gas Chromatography under the Standard Conditions of DIN 38407-F5. Part II: Increased Trihalomethane Formation in Chlorinated Swimming-pool Water A comparison of two analytical standard procedures for the determination of trihalomethanes (THM) in water (headspace gas chromatography and pentane extraction/gas chromatography) yielded strongly differing results. Under the conditions recommended by the German Standard Method DIN 38407-F5 (60…80°C for at least 60 min) degradation of thermo-labile chlorination products occurs resulting in elevated THM concentrations. The reactions involved are partly pH-dependant, and these can be suppressed by sample acidification. The degradation of trihalogen acetic acids, however, can only be influenced by minimizing the equilibration time and temperature. Other intermediate chlorination products (haloacetonitriles) are also degraded to THM after preceding hydrolysis to the corresponding carboxylic acids. Comparative results obtained with a purge and trap method at ambient temperature, i.e. without thermal stress during the enrichtment step, are lower than with static headspace GC but still high in comparison to the pentane extraction method. Presumably volatile THM-precursors are also trapped and subsequently decomposed upon thermal desorption from the trap. As the static headspace GC is the most rational method of LHKW determination available, the recommended experimental sample handling conditions should be modified in a way that deterioration reactions are reduced as far as possible. 相似文献
Sometime during AD 1452, according to new evidence, a large-magnitude, initially phreatomagmatic eruption, destroyed the island of Kuwae (16.83°S, 168.54°E), located in the present-day Republic of Vanuatu. It created a 12×6-km submarine caldera composed of two adjacent basins. Based on estimates of caldera volume, between 30 and 60 km3 DRE of dacite magma was ejected as pyroclastic flow and fall deposits during this event. Annual layers of ice dating from the period AD 1450–1460 contain acidity peaks representing fallout of sulfuric acid onto both the Greenland and Antarctic ice caps. These acidity peaks have been attributed by others to the sedimentation of H2SO4 aerosols that originated from sulfur degassing during the Kuwae eruption. Improved dating techniques and new data from nineteen ice cores reveal a single acidity peak attributed to Kuwae lasting from 1453 to 1457. In this study, we present new electron microprobe analyses of the S, Cl, and F contents of matrix glasses and glass inclusions in phenocrysts from tephra ejected during the Kuwae eruption. We establish that the Kuwae event did indeed yield a large release of sulfur gases. From our glass inclusion data and analysis, we calculate that the total atmospheric aerosol loading from the 1452 Kuwae eruption was ≫100 Tg H2SO4. Much of the volatile mass released during the eruption was probably contained in a separate, volatile-rich, fluid phase within the pre-eruptive Kuwae magma body. Comparing the volatile release of the Kuwae eruption with other large-magnitude eruptions, places Kuwae as the greatest sulfuric acid aerosol producer in the last seven centuries, larger even than sulfur emissions from the eruption of Tambora (Indonesia) in 1815, and possibly Laki (Iceland) in 1783. The severe and unusual climatic effects reported in the mid- to late-1450s were likely caused by the Kuwae eruption. 相似文献
We present eight new 0.8 to 2.4 μm spectral observations of Neptune's satellite Triton, obtained at IRTF/SpeX during 2002 July 15-22 UT. Our objective was to determine how Triton's near-infrared spectrum varies as Triton rotates, and to establish an accurate baseline for comparison with past and future observations. The most striking spectral change detected was in Triton's nitrogen ice absorption band at 2.15 μm; its strength varies by about a factor of two as Triton rotates. Maximum N2 absorption approximately coincides with Triton's Neptune-facing hemisphere, which is also the longitude where the polar cap extends nearest Triton's equator. More subtle rotational variations are reported for Triton's CH4 and H2O ice absorption bands. Unlike the other ices, Triton's CO2 ice absorption bands remain nearly constant as Triton rotates. Triton's H2O ice is shown to be crystalline, rather than amorphous. Triton's N2 ice is confirmed to be the warmer, hexagonal, β N2 phase, and its CH4 is confirmed to be highly diluted in N2 ice. 相似文献
Investigations of the Adsorptive Separation of Volatile Chlorinated Hydrocarbons (VCHC) from Water with Humic Substance by Novel Polymeric Adsorbents and Activated Carbons. Part II: Dynamics of Adsorption In this publication, the dynamics of adsorption of different volatile chlorinated hydrocarbons (VCHC) (1,2-dichloroethane, 1,1,1-trichloroethane, trichloroethene) and a humic substance from water as well as of these VCHC from water with humic substance onto novel polymeric ad-[QJ][HR] sorbents (WOFATIT EP 63, DOWEX XUS 43493, MACRONET MN 100 and MN 200) was studied in comparison to activated carbons (NORIT ROW 0.8 SUPRA, PRECOLITH BKK 3, HYDRAFFIN CG). The obtained breakthrough curves and the following predicted characteristic values reveal that the polymeric adsorbents do not remove or remove the humic substance only with low adsorption capacity in contrast to the activated carbons. At the adsorption of the VCHC from water with humic substance it was determined that the influence of the humic substance on the adsorption capacity is substantially less on polymeric adsorbents than on activated carbons. 相似文献
