This study quantifies the influence of the four major dissolved solutes found in terrestrial and marine environments on the dissolution kinetics of quartz. Dissolution rates are dependent upon the concentration and identity of alkali and alkaline earth cations in near-neutral pH solutions. We determine the effect of alkaline earth cations upon quartz reactivity by measuring dissolution rates in 0...
