内容記述 | Water and carbon dioxide concentrations within individual and selected groups of fluid inclusions in quartz were analyzed by using laser decrepitation and quantitative capacitance manometer determination. The useful limit of detection (calculated as ten times the typical background level) is about 5 x 10(-10) mol of H2O and 5 x 10(-11) mol of CO2; this H2O content translates into an aqueous fluid inclusion approximately 25 micrometers in diameter. CO2/H2O determinations for 38 samples (100 separate measurements) have a range of H2O amounts of 5.119 x 10(-9) to 1.261 x 10(-7) mol; CO2 amounts of 7.216 x 10(-10) to 1.488 x 10(-8) mol, and CO2/H2O mole ratios of 0.011 to 1.241. Replicate mole ratio determinations of CO2/H2O for three identical (?) clusters of inclusions in quartz have average mole ratios of 0.0305 +/- 0.0041 1 sigma. Our method offers much promise for analysis of individual fluid inclusions, is sensitive, is selective when the laser energy is not so great as to melt the mineral (laser pits approximately 50 micrometers in diameter), and permits rapid analysis (approximately 1 h per sample analysis). |
