Whenever a mineral or mineral assemblage comes into contact with a fluid with which it is
out of equilibrium, reequilibration will tend to take place to reduce the free energy of the …

Geochemical reaction modeling plays an increasingly vital role in several areas of
geoscience, from environmental geochemistry and petroleum geology to the study of …

Mineral replacement reactions take place primarily by dissolution-reprecipitation processes.
Processes such as cation exchange, chemical weathering, deuteric alteration, leaching …

Of course such a book as we propose here is not the product of just two people working
together, although the experience has been a great pleasure for us. We would like to thank …

Differential rates of plagioclase and K-feldspar weathering commonly observed in bedrock
and soil environments are examined in terms of chemical kinetic and solubility controls and …

The REE-Th weathering geochemistry and mineralogy has been investigated in a lateritic
soil cover in relation to the close hydrographical system at Goyoum (East Cameroon). The …

Although pseudomorphic mineral replacement reactions are common in all geological
environments, and have long been considered important to many geological processes …

Silicates constitute more than 90% of the rocks exposed in the Earth's land masses (Garrels
and Mackenzie, 1971). Most primary minerals comprising these rocks are …

This review examines the history and current practice of technologies for imaging of pores in
sedimentary rocks. Pores are that portion of the rock volume occupied by components of …

The effect of organic matter during soil/water interaction is still a debated issue on the
controls of chemical weathering in a tropical environment. In order to study this effect in …
