Quartz Solubility in the Two‐Phase Region of the NaCl‐H2O System: An Experimental Study With Application to the Piccard Hydrothermal Field, Mid‐Cayman Rise

Abstract Hydrothermal experiments were performed at elevated temperature (420–500 °C) and pressure (31.0–51.0 MPa) in the NaCl‐H2O system to measure quartz solubility in coexisting vapor and liquid and extend the calibrated range of the Si‐Cl geothermobarometer. In the vapor, the density‐based equat...
