Research Abstract |
To study the relationship between the diffusion coefficient of dissolved Si and the chemical form of dissolved Si, through diffusion experiments were conducted at pH 6, 9.5 and 11 using sandstone and rhyolite. The diffusion coefficients of K^+ and Cl^- as well as that of dissolved Si were determined. As pH increased, the effective diffusion coefficient of dissolved Si increased and approached to those of K^+ and Cl^-. One possible reason for the pH dependence of the diffusion of dissolved Si might be that as pH increases dissolved Si become less sorbed on negatively charged pore wall surfaces.
