Mantle‐derived CO2 in Hot Springs of the Rehai Geothermal Field, Tengchong, China

Abstract Gas concentrations and isotonic compositions of He and CO2 were determined on free gas samples from ten hot springs of the Rehai geothermal field, Tengchong, China. The results showed that hot‐spring CO2 gas, together with He, was derived mainly from the mantle, indicating the accumulation of mantle‐derived volatiles beneath the survey area. The δ13C values of CO2, higher than those of the typical mantle‐derived carbon and the isotopic composition of hot‐spring‐free CO2 in unequilibrium with dissolved CO2, are recognized only in the Rehai geothermal field, suggesting that there seems to be a still‐degassing magmatic intrusion at depths, which provides mantle‐derived volatiles to the hydrothermal system above. The accumulation of those volatiles has probably played an important role in triggering earthquakes in this region. In addition, the isotopic characteristics of He and C also indicate that the magmatic intrusion seems to have been derived from the MORB source, and could be contaminated by crustal materials during its upwelling through the continental crust.
