A comparative study of the dissolution mechanisms of amorphous and crystalline feldspars at acidic pH conditions

The dissolution of amorphous and crystalline oligoclase, a Na-feldspar with traces of Ca and K, was investigated at 90 °C and acidic pH of 1.5 and 3 to unravel the impact of long- and short-range orders on sil...
