Epidote Rare Earth Element Analyses from Wells RN-12 and RN-19 - Reykjanes, Iceland

Description

Results for laser ablation measurement of rare earth elements and electron microprobe analysis of major elements in hydrothermal epidote from the Reykjanes geothermal system in Iceland. Laser ablation measurements were completed using an Agilent 7700 quadrupole ICP-MS coupled with 193nm Photon Instruments Excimer laser.

33 This conference paper from the 2015 World Geothermal Congress discusses the rare earth element (REE) measurements from geothermal fluids, epidote, and whole-rock samples from the Reykjanes geothermal system in Iceland. Analysis using LA-ICP-MS reveals REE depletion in wellhead fluids, with epidote better reflecting deep fluid composition, influenced by seawater/rock ratios and temperature. https://gdr.openei.org/files/503/REE_conference_paper.pdf
