Conclusions

The interactions of solutes with mineral surfaces are central to models of natural mineral corrosion rates and for predictions about the migration rates of contaminants in groundwater. Because of the scale of geologic processes, these predictions must span many decades and potentially large variations in natural chemistry. If these predictions are to gain credibility, details of the reactions must be confirmed at a fine scale. With new methods of surface analysis, important assumptions in the models can be independently verified. The results so far have often confirmed longheld opinions about the control of mineral dissolution and growth, such as the importance of surface microtopography, and have uncovered wholly new phenomena, as well.
