Formation of silica by low-temperature acid alteration of Martian rocks: Physical-chemical constraints
[1] Theoretical geochemical modeling has been used to evaluate the formation conditions of amorphous silica during aqueous alteration of typical Martian igneous rocks at 0 C. The models show that some silica can form during low-temperature alteration of mafic to ultramafic rocks over a large range of pH and water/rock ratios. Silica-dominated deposits, like those found at the Columbia Hills in ...
متن کاملSedimentary silica on Mars
Terrestrial planetary surfaces, other than Earth, are overwhelmingly basaltic in character. Because of this, among the most intriguing and significant results from recent studies of Mars are the occurrences of high-silica rocks at the Pathfinder site and orbital thermal emission spectroscopy evidence for a global petrological dichotomy with andesites dominating the entire northern hemispheric p...
متن کاملFormation of Martian Silica-rich Deposits through Rock Alteration: a Theoretical Assessment
Introduction: The secondary mineralogy of martian surface materials is consistent with aqueous alteration of mafic and ultramafic rocks [e.g., 1-3]. Alteration of mafic silicates results in the release of SiO2 into aqueous solution, followed by the precipitation of silica [4] and/or silica-rich minerals. The presence of these phases is consistent with data obtained at the Mars Pathfinder [4] an...
متن کاملPreparation and Characterization of Colloidal Silica in Alkaline and Constant Range of pH
In this study, alkaline colloidal silica was prepared by titration of an alkaline solution such as sodium silicate with silicic acid in constant range of pH .This constant range of pH was achieved by using concentrated soduim silicate solutions as pH adjusting solutions during titration.The sodium silicate solutions having a variety of...
متن کاملSilica coatings on young Hawaiian basalts: Constraints on formation mechanism from silicon isotopes
Young basalts from Kilauea, on the big island of Hawai’i, frequently feature visually striking, white, orange and blue coatings, consisting of a 10-50 μm layer of amorphous silica, capped, in some cases, by a ~1 μm layer of Fe-Ti oxide [1]. The coatings provide an opportunity to study the early onset of acid-sulfate weathering, a process common to many volcanic environments. Silicon isotopes fr...
