Volcanic emission of Se, Te, and As from Kilauea volcano, Hawaii

Tellurium isotopic composition of the early solar system—A search for effects resulting from stellar nucleosynthesis, 126Sn decay, and mass-independent fractionation

“…Significant outgassing of Te is known to occur during volcanic activity but in the current atmosphere, Te appears to be present mainly in the particulate fraction (Greenland and Aruscavage, 1986). A photolytic reaction analogous to that inferred for SO 2 is, furthermore, unlikely for Te because TeO 2 is nonvolatile with a boiling point (T b ) of 1245°C.…”

Chalcophile elements in Martian meteorites indicate low sulfur content in the Martian interior and a volatile element-depleted late veneer

“…In contrast, subaerial counterparts tend to have lower S, Se, Te and Re contents, indicating their degassing due to their volatile character during volcanic eruptions in these environments. Among these elements, S is commonly the most volatile element during degassing of basic magmas (Greenland and Aruscavage, 1986;Norman et al, 2004;Yi et al, 2000). Thus it is necessary to first evaluate the effect of possible degassing on these elements in shergottites.…”

Trace elements in the gas emissions from the Erta Ale volcano, Afar, Ethiopia

“…Most data on TE compositions and fluxes from plume volcanoes have been collected using filter packs: Kilauea Olmez et al, 1986;Crowe et al, 1987;Hinkley et al, 1999;Mather et al, 2012) and Erebus (Zreda-Gostynska et al, 1997;Wardell et al, 2008). High-T fumaroles of up to 850°C and 900°C were sampled on Piton de la Fournaise (Toutain and Meyer, 1989;Toutain et al, 1990) and Kilauea (Greenland, 1984;Greenland and Aruscavage, 1986). Aerosol emissions and low-temperature incrustations have also been studied in Iceland (Óskarsson, 1981;Moune et al, 2006), but Icelandic volcanoes lack accessible high-temperature fumaroles.…”
