The Thermodynamics of Supercritical Fluid Systems

  • Chapter
Advances in Physical Geochemistry

Part of the book series: Advances in Physical Geochemistry ((PHYSICAL GEOCHE,volume 2))

Abstract

The aim of the present paper is to discuss briefly the results of investigations into the thermodynamics of a model of natural fluids. These investigations have been conducted over the past decade in the laboratory of hydrothermal systems at the Institute of Experimental Mineralogy, USSR Academy of Sciences. Scientists have long been interested in hydrothermal solutions due to their importance in the formation of many ore bodies and of virtually all metamorphic, metasomatic, and magmatic rocks in the earth’s crust. One should be aware, however, that natural processes involving a fluid phase are very complex, involving too many problems to be covered adequately in one paper.
