Evolution of the total dust mass for EIT08M. Calculations for galaxies with initial gas masses of Mini = 5 × 1010 M are presented in the first and second columns and for Mini = 1 × 1011 M in the third and fourth columns. Total dust masses Md(t) are shown for a “maximum” (top row), a “high” (middle row), and a “low” (bottom row) SN dust production efficiency ϵI(m). Dust destruction is taken into account for Mcl = 100   M (first and third columns) and 0 M (second and fourth columns). Maximum dust masses exceeding 108 M are indicated as yellow shaded zones. The grey horizontal dashed line marks the limit of 108 M of dust. The grey vertical dashed lines indicate epochs at 400, and 500 Myr after the onset of starburst. The black solid, green dotted, and blue dashed-dot-dotted lines represent the Salpeter, mass-heavy and Larson 2 IMF, respectively.
