The lab offers a suite of hydrothermal and flow-through autoclaves for experiments conducted at near-surface conditions, providing versatility for various low-temperature and low-pressure studies. The flow-through cell is a large-volume Teflon container equipped with multiple ports for continuous addition or extraction of materials, as well as real-time monitoring of parameters like pH and temperature. It is externally heated and can be stirred, operating from 0 to 120°C, making it ideal for mineral synthesis, studying mineral precipitation in hydrothermal systems, and conducting partitioning studies under varying reaction kinetics. For higher temperatures, closed-volume hydrothermal vessels are available, capable of reaching up to 400°C. In these vessels, pressure is generated internally by the experimental solution and can be controlled to be at, above, or below vapor-saturation depending on the fill volume. Their large volume allows for the integration of traps to sample material during the run or upon quenching, and an internal capsule with a buffer can also be added for specific experimental controls.
