High temperature gas–solid reactions interactions are ubiquitous in and on the Earth and other planetary bodies (Fig. 1). In these natural systems, gases are elusive. Like a hurricane’s wind that leaves a path of destruction but no trace of wind after the event, the gas that initiated a gas–solid reaction may be conspicuously absent. Because gases effectively escape from geologic systems, gas–solid reactions may only be recorded by their stable, or metastable, solid reaction products.
In this chapter, we seek to unravel the evidence and approaches that can be used to examine gas–solid reactions, especially through their solid...
