Illite Dissolution Rates and Equation (100 to 280 deg C)

Published by Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory | Department of Energy | Catalog Last Checked: August 03, 2026 at 12:58 AM | Dataset Last Updated: June 27, 2017 at 02:27 PM
The objective of this suite of experiments was to develop a useful kinetic dissolution expression for illite applicable over an expanded range of solution pH and temperature conditions representative of subsurface conditions in natural and/or engineered geothermal reservoirs. Using our new data, the resulting rate equation is dependent on both pH and temperature and utilizes two specific dissolution mechanisms (a "neutral" and a "basic" mechanism). The form of this rate equation should be easily incorporated into most existing reactive transport codes for to predict rock-water interactions in EGS shear zones.
