Mineralogy and geochemistry of shale from Shanxi Formation, Southern North China Basin: Implication for organic matter accumulation by Qian Chen, Pei Li, Xiaoliang Wei, Changsheng Chen, Wei Dang, Haikuan Nie, Jinchuan Zhang

“…The Shanxi Shale is primarily composed of clay minerals (34.24 %–75.20 %) and quartz (23.80%–46.39 %), with a notably low carbonate content (<5 %). (2) Illite in the lower sections of the Shanxi Shale is likely sourced from detrital input rather than chemical conversion, while the dissolution of potassium feldspar may account for the elevated kaolinite content. …”

Hydrogen and hydrogen sulphide in volcanic gases: abundance, processes, and atmospheric fluxes by Aiuppa, Alessandro, Moussallam, Yves

“…The high H$_{2}$ concentrations (and low H$_{2}$S/SO$_{2}$ compositions, of ${\sim }$0.1 on average) in high-temperature (${>}$1000 °C) magmatic gases are overall consistent with those predicted thermodynamically assuming external redox buffering operated by the coexisting silicate melt, at oxygen fugacities ranging from ${\Delta }$FMQ $-$1 to 0 (non-arc volcanoes) to ${\Delta }$FMQ 0 to ${+}$2 (arc volcanoes) (where ${\Delta }$FMQ is oxygen fugacity expresses as a log unit difference relative to the Fayalite–Magnetite–Quartz oxygen fugacity buffer). Lower temperature (${<}$1000 °C) volcanic gases exhibit more oxidizing redox conditions (typically above the Nickel–Nickel Oxide buffer) that are caused by a combination of (i) gas re-equilibration during closed-system (gas-phase only) adiabatic cooling in a gas-buffered system, and (ii) heterogenous (gas–mineral) reactions. …”
