U solubility in the core of Earth

Xuezhao Bao, Richard A. Secco

Uranium is the most important heat producing element in the Earth. The presence of an appreciable amount of U in the core of Earth would have an important influence on geodynamics.…

Uranium partitioning between liquid iron and silicate melt at high pressures: implications for uranium solubility in planetary cores

Xuezhao Bao, Richard A. Secco, Joel E. Gagnon +1

We have investigated the partitioning of U between silicate melt and Fe liquid at pressures of 3.0 to14.5 GPa and temperatures of 1660 to 2500 oC. The solubility of U in liquid Fe…
