Technical Details |
| Maximum run temperature of the
vertical tube furnaces is 1600°C. The entire oxygen and sulfur
fugacity range of the silicate part of terrestrial planets can be
covered by CO-CO2-SO2 gas
mixtures. The maximum sample volume is about 50 ml. Experimental
charges can be quenched by withdrawing the samples in the cooler upper
part of the vertical tube or by dropping the samples into vessels below
the vertical tube. Equilibrium distributions can be frozen in due to
the rapid quench. |
| Applications |
| Vertical 1-atm
furnaces allow simulation of temperatures, oxygen and sulfur fugacities
relevant for still ongoing magmatic processes and processes in the
early history of terrestrial planets. Research projects at our
institute are therefore not only investigations of differentiation of
basaltic and ultramafic melts, and phase relation studies, but also
investigations of metal-sulfide-silicate interactions. |
