Interfacial reactions drive all elemental cycling on Earth and play pivotal roles in human
activities such as agriculture, water purification, energy production and storage …

Quartz is considered one of the less soluble minerals of the Earth's crust, and thus hardly
affected by chemical weathering. Despite this, for more than forty years, it is clear that the …

Systems at the surface of the Earth are continually responding to energy inputs derived
ultimately from radiation from the Sun or from the radiogenic heat in the interior. These …

Mineral dissolution rates control the temporal evolution of many natural processes on the
surface and upper crust of the Earth. This is the first of a series of papers describing the …

Silicon oxides and nitrides are key materials for dielectrics and encapsulation layers in a
class of silicon‐based high performance electronics that has ability to completely dissolve in …

This study presents experiment and surface complexation modeling (SCM) of synthetic
calcite zeta potential in brine with mixed potential determining ions (PDI) under various CO 2 …

The rates of mineral dissolution contribute to processes controlling soil fertility, porosity in
aquifers and oil reservoirs, transport and sequestration of contaminants and CO 2, cycling of …

The dissolution kinetics of silica-containing minerals in aggregates influences strongly the
process of ASR in concrete. In this paper, the effect of different ions on the dissolution rates …

The kinetics of amorphous silica, SiO2 (am), dissolution was quantified in deionized water
and NaCl solutions. By using two sources of pure SiO2 glass (fused purified quartz and …

The contents of this monograph are two-scope. First, it intends to provide a synthetic but
complete account of the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations on which the reaction path …
