Vent Fluid Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) (TRHPHEH)

Vent Fluid Oxidation-Reduction Potential (ORP) is a measure of the tendency of a vent fluid, and the chemical species within it, to acquire electrons (i.e. be reduced). The more positive the potential, the greater the affinity for electrons and tendency to be reduced.
