a18_CO2acid_c() calculates the 18O/16O fractionation factor between CO2 produced from acid digestion and carbonate.

Usage

a18_CO2acid_c(temp, min)

Arguments

temp

Acid digestion temperature (°C).

min

Mineralogy. Options are "calcite", "aragonite", and "dolomite".

Value

Returns the 18O/16O fractionation factor.

Details

calcite (Kim et al. 2015):

$$\alpha^{18}_{CO2acid/calcite} = e^{(3.48 \times \frac{1}{T} - 0.00147)}$$

aragonite (Kim et al. 2007):

$$\alpha^{18}_{CO2acid/aragonite} = e^{(3.39 \times \frac{1}{T} - 0.00083)}$$

dolomite (Rosenbaum & Sheppard 1986):

$$\alpha^{18}_{CO2acid/dolomite} = e^{(665 \times \frac{1}{T^{2}} + 0.00423)}$$
