Features: This book contains approximately 560,000 words and is divided into 10 chapters. It briefly introduces the importance of experimental research for the development of Earth science, the history, current status, and fundamental knowledge of experimental petrology, mineralogy, and geochemistry, as well as high-temperature and high-pressure experimental equipment and techniques. Through examples of experimental research, the book illustrates the establishment of experimental models, the selection of experimental equipment and techniques, the identification and analytical methods for experimental samples, the processing of experimental data, the evaluation and application of experimental results. It focuses on representative research achievements in experimental geochemistry (physical chemistry and spectroscopic studies of hydrothermal fluids, conductivity measurements of electrolyte dilute solutions at high temperatures and pressures, mineral dissolution and species formation in hydrothermal fluids, and the interaction between seawater and basalt), experimental petrology (melting relationships in high-temperature and normal-pressure and high-temperature and high-pressure silicate systems), and experimental mineralogy (determination of stable conditions for minerals or mineral assemblages and extraction of thermodynamic numerical values). This book is suitable for students and researchers in the fields of geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, and ore geology, as well as for scientists and technicians engaged in chemistry, materials science, chemical metallurgy, silicate science, and chemical engineering.
