ABSTRACT-0751771 (Seyfried)Intellectual Merit: This research provides an integrated series of experiments that allow the assessment of liquid-vapor partitioning, acid generating processes, and the role of redox variation on vapor-transport of Fe in NaCl-bearing systems from 380 to 500 C and 250 to 350 bars. These are important for reactions in which hot geothermal waters interact with rocks, causing mineral dissolution and precipitation as well as the generation of deep hot brines. Experiments will build from a simple NaCl-H2O-HCl system to those that include Ca and Fe where hydrolysis effects that generate acidity can be examined. Vapor transport of Fe will be determined during a series of magnetite-bearing experiments with dissolved H2 at fixed values from 2 to 100 mm/kg and concentrations greater or equal to those observed in hydrothermal systems. For the work, a novel new reactor will be developed that permits sampling of vapor and brine phases and that is fitted with in-situ chemical sensors that allow the activity of HCl in the vapor phase to be determined. Aqueous speciation, vapor-liquid partitioning, and mineral solubility effects on the composition of vapors and brines will be determined. Broader Impacts: Broader impacts of the work include: the generation of essential data and parameters for use in a wide range of disciplines ranging from geothermal energy generation to earth science to chemical engineering to reactive transport modeling in high temperature water-rock systems. The development of the titanium reactor with in-situ chemical sensors is an important technological development and increases the infrastructure for science. The work also supports graduate and undergraduate training and the likelihood that students from groups whose gender or race is under-represented in the sciences will be engaged.

摘要-0751771 (Seyfried)智力成果：这项研究提供了一系列综合实验，可以评估液-汽分配、酸生成过程以及氧化还原变化对 380 含 NaCl 系统中 Fe 蒸气传输的作用至 500 C 和 250 至 350 巴。这些对于热地热水与岩石相互作用的反应非常重要，导致矿物溶解和沉淀以及深层热盐水的生成。 实验将从简单的 NaCl-H2O-HCl 系统构建到包含 Ca 和 Fe 的系统，其中可以检查产生酸度的水解效应。 Fe 的蒸气传输将在一系列含磁铁矿的实验中确定，其中溶解的 H2 固定值从 2 到 100 mm/kg，浓度大于或等于热液系统中观察到的浓度。 在这项工作中，将开发一种新颖的反应器，可以对气相和盐水相进行采样，并配备原位化学传感器，可以确定气相中 HCl 的活性。 将确定水相形态、气液分配和矿物溶解度对蒸气和盐水组成的影响。更广泛的影响：这项工作的更广泛影响包括：生成用于广泛学科的基本数据和参数，从地热能发电到地球科学到化学工程到高温水-岩石系统中的反应输运建模。 具有原位化学传感器的钛反应器的开发是一项重要的技术发展，并增加了科学基础设施。 这项工作还支持研究生和本科生培训，以及来自性别或种族在科学领域代表性不足的群体的学生参与的可能性。
