Sulfur partitioning between aqueous fluids and felsic melts at high pressures: Implications for sulfur migration in subduction zones by Lanqin Li, Xingcheng Liu, Ting Xu, Xiaolin Xiong, Jintuan Wang, Li Li

“…Despite its importance, the partitioning of S between aqueous fluids and silicate melts under the conditions of subduction zone, critical for magma generation and evolution, remains poorly understood. To address this knowledge gap, we performed piston-cylinder experiments at a temperature of 950 ℃ and pressures of 1 and 2 GPa, investigating the effects of various parameters including oxygen fugacity, melt composition, fluid composition (salinity) and pressure on S partitioning between aqueous fluid and silicate melt (DS fluid/melt). …”
