Chlorite dissolution kinetics at pH 3–10 and temperature to 275°C
Abstract
Sheet silicates and clays are ubiquitous in geothermal environments. Their dissolution is of interest because this process contributes to scaling reactions along fluid pathways and alteration of fracture surfaces which could affect reservoir permeability. Here, in order to better predict the geochemical impacts on long-term performance of engineered geothermal systems, we have measured chlorite dissolution and developed a generalized kinetic rate law applicable over an expanded range of solution pH and temperature. Chlorite, (Mg,Al,Fe)12(Si,Al)8O20(OH)16, commonly occurs in many geothermal host rocks as either a primary mineral or alteration product.
