Silicon minerals

The stability diagrams of oxide/hydroxide of aluminum and silicon minerals/ aqueous solution systems are illustrated in Figures 1.6 and 1.7. In these diagrams, the following reactions were taken into account. 

Migration and Accumulation of Silicon Compounds in Soil-Water Systems Silicon is permanently entering soil solution and ground waters as a result of hydrolysis of dispersed alumosilicate and dissolution of various silicon minerals, like quartz. 

The most interesting biogeochemical phenomenon connected with Si, Al and S species formation was monitored in delta-marine soils of Mangrove ecosystems. At pH 2-3 of soil solntion, even silicon minerals become solnble and the content of SiOi reaches 5-8 mg/L. In soil and ground waters of salty soils of Mangrove ecosystems of delta low plains of Senegal (West Africa), SiOi concentrations are 20-50 mg/L with dry seasonal maximum up to 90-100 mg/L. The evaporation of these solutions is accompanied with deposition of amorphous silicon gel, which is crystalhzed further. The long term duration of this process has led to the formation of... 

In accordance with modern theories, the main mechanism of metal sorption in various soils is the heterogenic surface sorption of metals by soil particles. In the sorption process, the various metals react with different functional groups of various soil compounds, like clay minerals, organic matter, oxides of Fe, Mn, Al, Si, etc. Various mechanisms of Me sorption in soil and soil solution are connected with various forms of their existence in soil such as exchangeable, specifically sorbed, occluded by oxides and hydroxides, bounded with organic matter and included into interlayer spaces of silicon minerals. In this study Tessier et al (1979) s method has been...
