Synthetic fluid inclusions: A novel technique for experimental water-rock studies
Abstract
Synthetic fluid inclusions have been used to determine volumetric and phase equilibrium properties of fluids over a wide range of pressure-temperature-composition conditions. The technique is particularly useful in the study of immiscible fluid systems and for systems which become saturated in one or more solid or fluid phases during cooling and decompression from experimental to ambient conditions. When used in conjunction with conventional experimental techniques, synthetic fluid inclusions permit determination and quantification of physical properties of fluid systems over the complete range of PTX conditions of interest to geochemists studying crustal geochemical processes.
