Influence of physical properties of rocks on rockdissolution process
Description
[Synopsis]
To elucidate the characteristics of dissolution of rocks and to examine the effect of physical properties on their dissolution characteristics, closed-system experiments were carried out thirteen rock types. The experiments using small block samples showed that the rocks with a higher porosity display higher rates of dissolution, particularly in the initial stage of the water-rock interaction. This evidence indicates that the concentration of dissolved materials is controlled by the porosity of the rocks.
