Abstract

The evolution of the physicochemical parameters, between 300°C to 190° C, in the hydrothermal fluid that has precipitated epithermal Ag-Au-Te ores in Panormos - Liardades Bay, was studied using the Guldberg- Waage chemical equilibration method. The range of the calculated values of the physicochemical parameters for this temperature interval were: fS2 = 10"83 to 10155, fQ2 = 10'321 to IO"42, fTe2 = 10673 to 10195, fCQ2 = 10+08 to 10" 02, a„ = 1 0 " t o 10139, an, = 10"41 to 10"321, aT , = 10"65 and 4.95 - 6.9
