Collab. Research: Development of Advanced Electrochemical Instruments for Accurate pH Measurements in Hydrothermal Solutions at Temperatures up to 450 Degrees Centigrade

9725191 LVOV该奖项为开发电化学系统提供资金，用于在100-450℃的温度范围和高达千巴的压力下准确测量水热溶液的pH值。开发一种在如此高温和高压下使用的准确的pH测量系统，有望促进我们对自然环境中化学过程的基本理解，如洋脊、热液喷口和其他火山区，在这些地区，生命的生成和矿藏的形成都是非常重要的。这一开发项目将作为宾夕法尼亚州立大学(该奖项)、坦普尔大学和普林斯顿大学(通过同伴奖)的主要研究团队之间的合作完成。***

9725191 Lvov This award provides funding for the development of an electrochemical system for accurate pH measurements in hydrothermal solutions at temperatures over the range 100-450oC and at pressures of up to a kilobar. The development of an accurate pH measurement system for use at such high temperatures and pressures is expected to advance our fundamental understanding of chemical processes in natural environments such as ocean ridge hydrothermal vents and other volcanic areas where both the generation of life and the formation of mineral deposits are of great interest. This development project is to be accomplished as collaboration between principal investigator teams at the Pennsylvania State University (this award), Temple University and Princeton University (through a companion award). ***
