| Abstract: | The solubility of silica in water has been determined by Vinogradov in 1966 and shown to be dependent on pH, but he did not investigate the alkaline side, and there is also the interesting problem of bicarbonates, which though mildly alkaline in pH, are potentially capable of reacting with silicates to form silica and a normal carbonate. Many natural waters exist which do contain appreciable amounts of silica and bicarbonate. It is therefore of interest to know just how close these may be to precipitating silica. This has been determined experimentally. |
