In order to examine the effect of total pressure on vaporization of alkalis (Na, K, Rb) from a partially molten chondritic material, heating experiments were carried out under various He gas pressures (~10−5-~10−1torr) at 1300°C. The rate of vaporization decreased in the order of Na > K > Rb with the increasing of the pressure, and reached a minimum at ~10−1torr.
