TL;DR: In this paper, the authors measured mineral-aqueous fluid partition coefficients (Dmin/fluid) for U, Th, Pb, Nb, Ba, and Sr in experiments at 2.0 GPa and 900°C.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors measured rutile/aqueous fluid partition coefficients (Drutfl) for Nb, Ta, Hf, Zr, U and Th at 1-2 GPa and 900-1100°C and concluded that only small amounts of residual rutiles are required to prevent HFSE enrichment of the mantle wedge by fluids derived from either pelagic sediments or the basaltic portion of the subducting slab.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present direct experimental measurements of D PGE sul, based on in situ microanalysis of the sulfide and silicate melt, with values ranging from ∼4.5 × 105 (Ru) to ∼2.3 × 106 (Ir, Pt) and they use their new set of partition coefficients to develop a fully constrained model of PGE behavior during melting which accurately predicts the abundances of PME in mantle-derived magmas and their restites, including mid-ocean ridge basalts, continental picrites, and the parental magmas

TL;DR: In this article, the stability limits and mineral sulfide melt partitioning behavior of the platinum-group minerals laurite (Ru,Os,Ir)S2 and Ru-Os-Ir alloy as functions of temperature and sulfur fugacity were established.

TL;DR: In this paper, a comparison of clinopyroxene-fluid partition coefficients for low atomic mass elements B, Be, and Li between aqueous fluid and minerals likely to be present in the basaltic portion of the downgoing slab was made.
