Silica dissolution and precipitation kinetics in hot geothermal conditions

This dataset report quartz dissolution kinetics as obtained from packed column experiments at different flow rates. Variables were temperature, pressure and NaCl content as incicated in the table. Silica values are reported as mg/L of Si as measured by ICP-OES. Also included in the table is a column describing how data series were treated to extract steady-state values for each flow rate (cf. the report to which the current dataset is related). The column "solubility used" states the solubility used to calculate dissolution (k+) and precipitation (k-) rate constants along with a column "source" which briefly indicates how this value was obtained. Further details are given in the report.

Factors used to get from the raw data to the reported rate constants are also given. Not included in the table, but common for all data points are a quartz BET surface are of 0.6922 m2/g, 10 g quartz and a quartz activity assumed to be 1.

Note that this dataset contain several measurement points that are not representative. These include points close do equilibrium where kinetic information cannot be reliably obtained and points where it is suspected that a temperature drop during sampling may have caused erroneous results (the Si content actually represents a somewhat lower temperature that was not measured). The reader is referred to the full report for details.
