Chemical interactions between seawater and the oceanic crust have been widely investigated during recent years. However, most of these studies concern the uppermost volcanic part of the crust. The contribution of the ...

The mobility of lanthanides (Lns) accompanying interactions of powdered andesitic rocks with acidic hot spring water and acidic hot spring water vapor/steam was studied in the experiments set up in the field. At the early ...

We propose an experimental evaluation of the simultaneous dissolution rate of K-feldspar, biotite and plagioclase during the interaction between a granite and a fluid artificially enriched in the less abundant strontium ...

Smectites are considered to be an important component in backfill barriers due to their marked swelling and high cation exchange capacity. Both properties are affected considerably when these clays transform under natural ...

Volcanic rocks from subduction zones are widely believed to originate by partial melting of mantle lherzolite modified by the addition of a fluid or melt extracted from the down-going slab. U-series disequilibrium in such ...
