Abstract: | A differential rate equation for silica-water reactions from 0–300°C has been derived based on stoichiometry and activities of the reactants in the reaction SiO2(s) + 2H2O(l) = H4SiO4(aq) where () = (the relative interfacial area between the solid and aqueous phases/the relative mass of water in the system), and k+ and k? are the rate constants for, respectively, dissolution and precipitation. The rate constant for precipitation of all silica phases is and Eact for this reaction is 49.8 kJ mol?1. Corresponding equilibrium constants for this reaction with quartz, cristobalite, or amorphous silica were expressed as . Using , k was expressed as and a corresponding activation energy calculated: | a | b | c | Eact(kJ mol -1) | Quarts | 1.174 | -2.028 x 103 | -4158 | 67.4–76.6 | α-Cristobalite | -0.739 | 0 | -3586 | 68.7 | β-Cristobalite | -0.936 | 0 | -3392 | 65.0 | Amorphous silica | -0.369 | -7.890 x 10-4 | 3438 | 60.9–64.9 |
