Modellierungen und das grundlegende Verständnis hydrothermaler Prozesse

Hydrothermal processes are responsible for the economic accumulation of metals that are used for uncountable purposes in our lives. Modeling of such processes can lead to a better fundamental understanding of ore deposits but also perhaps to better exploration strategies. They can lead to the discoveries of new deposits to cover the demand on metals. In this work, we have measured thermodynamic properties of the minerals heazlewoodite (Ni3S2) and skutterudite (CoAs3). The data for these minerals are calculated up to 300 oC, meaning that modeling in a wide range of temperatures, typical for hydrothermal systems, is possible. The accuracy of the data was tested against previous measurements and shown to be excellent. More details can be found under https://doi.org/10.2138/am-2022-8337Externer Link.
