Fig. 3: Compilation of D_Mo^fluid/melt between fluids and melts from experiments with different temperatures and pressure, and 2 sigmas standard deviation of the measurements was illustrated.

The experimental data was collected from Candela and Holland¹³, Webster¹⁵, Tattitch, and Blundy¹⁶, Fang and Audetat¹⁷, Zhan et al.¹⁸, and this study. The values increase exponentially with salinity. The values reported by Tattitch and Blundy¹⁶, and Fang and Audetat¹⁷ are consistently higher than those of the current study. A possible reason for this is the presence of sulfur, which is interpreted by the authors of these papers to increase the solubility of Mo in the fluids relative to that of Mo in sulfur-free experiments.
