Geochemical products of laboratory-simulated abrasion of natural quartz and alkali feldspar incubated at low temperatures
GB/NERC/BAS/PDC/01855

Summary

Abstract:
Geochemical data collected during a 40 day incubation of crushed silicate minerals (quartz and alkali feldspar). Quartz and alkali were crushed separately under an oxygen-free atmosphere using a planetary ball mill. The crushed minerals where then incubated in serum vial under with oxygen-limited water, in an oxygen-free N2 atmosphere at 4 degrees C. Headspace gases were collected before the addition of water. Then, headspace gas samples and the water samples were collected 24, 48, 120, 240, 360 and 720 hours after the addition of water. Headspace gas samples were analysed for CH4, CO2 and H2 and O2. Water fraction samples were analysed for anions and organic acids (including acetate, formate, F-, Cl-, NO2-, NO3- and SO4 2-), cations (including Na+, K+, Mg2+ and Ca2+) and total dissolved iron (dFe).

The research was supported by NERC grant NE/S001670/1, CRUSH2LIFE (BGO, MT, JT) and by European Research Council (ERC) Synergy Grant DEEP PURPLE under the European Union's Horizon 2020 Research and Innovation Program (Grant Number 856416).
