Abstract We present the first in-situ partitioning data for bromine between a natural basaltic melt and a coexisting fluid. For this study hydrothermal diamond anvil cell experiments at pressures up to 1.7 GPa were conducted. We combined laser heating to melt the basalt glass with external heating to lower the temperature gradient in the cell and to initiate circulation for the aqueous fluid. Bromine concentrations were measured in-situ with X-ray fluorescence in the basaltic melts, glasses, and in the fluid. From the results we calculated partition coefficients of DBrfluid/melt = 1.19 to 3.92 in the range of 0.4 to 1 GPa for aqueous fluids. Experiments with neon as the surrounding fluid (DBrfluid/melt = 0.38 ± 0.01 at 1.1 GPa) suggest that Br-release from a basalt into volatiles that have no bonding affinity with Br is weak. This should be the case for dry intra-plate volcanic eruptions. From the experimentally gained partition coefficients and from global Br concentration values in melt inclusions of arc magmas, we calculated an annual global Br flux of 23.5–72.9 × 109 g/y.
