Deskripsi

Carbon migration in the deep Earth is still not fully understood. Here, the authors show that immiscible isobutane formsin situfrom transformation of aqueous sodium acetate at 300 °C and 2.4–3.5 GPa, indicating that hydrocarbon fluids may play a major role in carbon transfer in the deep carbon cycle.
