Stable chromium isotope geochemistry

doi:10.13745/j.esf.sf.2020.3.5

Abstract

Abstract:

With the advancement of multicollector mass spectrometry, the stable chromium isotopic system has been widely applied to solving environmental and geochemical problems. Chromium is a redox-sensitive element, and transformations between different oxidation states are accompanied by large isotopic fractionations. Therefore, chromium isotopes play important roles in investigating the redox conditions of modern and paleo-environments. Moreover, chromium is a moderately compatible and slightly siderophile element, and large isotope fractionation exists between different minerals. Thus, chromium isotopes can also be potentially applied to study mantle partial melting, magma differential crystallization, and planetary evolution. In this review, we covered the following topics: (1) an overview of chromium stable isotopic systematics; (2) analytical methods; (3) isotopic fractionation mechanisms; and (4) applications of stable chromium isotopes in high- and low-temperature geochemistry.

Key words: chromium isotope, redox proxy, paleo-environment, planetary evolution
