Below you can find the proposed preliminary structure of databases
to be maintained at the IGCP 405 home page:
A. Thermodynamic properties of minerals and related substances
at ambient conditions, i.e. mostly at 298,15o K and 1 bar pressure
(particularly those included in weathering reactions):
|
Mineral name
|
Formula
|
Enthalpy
|
Entropy
|
Gibbs function
|
Reference
|
B. Rate constants of weathering reactions:
- Rate constants of dissolution, disintegration, degradation
- Rate constants of secondary products formation
|
Rock, mineral
|
Reaction scheme
|
Rate constant
