The carbon solubility in a Mid-Ocean Ridge Basaltic (MORB) melt was determined by equilibrating natural glass with CO2 produced by decomposition of silver oxalate. These experiments were performed in closed platinum capsules ...
Studies of iron-bearing silicate melt (ferrobasalt) þ iron metallicphase þ graphite þ hydrogen equilibria show that carbon andhydrogen solubilities in melts are important for the evolution of theupper mantle. In a series ...
The Beer–Lambert law is traditionally used to determine water and carbon concentrations in glasses from their infrared (IR) spectra. In practice, this method requires estimation of the thickness and density of the glass ...
