Abstract
We carry out a chemical treatment (acidization or basification) of typical rock specimens in-situ, and characterize the emerging pattern resulting from the infiltration-precipitation scenario. Galena and limestone samples were treated with sulfuric acid, while pyrite was reacted with sodium hydroxide. Various infiltration techniques were employed, after selection of the most feasible method for each rock separately. The patterns of anglesite (PbSO4), anhydrite (CaSO4) and goethite (FeOOH) deposition presented different alteration modes of the bare rock textures. Among the three deposited minerals, only the anhydrite (CaSO4) displayed a band stratification. The formation of a Liesegang pattern in the rock of highest porosity indicates a plausible correlation between the band formation and a minimum porosity requirement. A banded rock of compact texture could then be formed by a cementation mechanism, governing the long time evolution of the rock.
期刊介绍：
Acta Geochimica serves as the international forum for essential research on geochemistry, the science that uses the tools and principles of chemistry to explain the mechanisms behind major geological systems such as the Earth‘s crust, its oceans and the entire Solar System, as well as a number of processes including mantle convection, the formation of planets and the origins of granite and basalt. The journal focuses on, but is not limited to the following aspects:
• Cosmochemistry
• Mantle Geochemistry
• Ore-deposit Geochemistry
• Organic Geochemistry
• Environmental Geochemistry
• Computational Geochemistry
• Isotope Geochemistry
• NanoGeochemistry
All research articles published in this journal have undergone rigorous peer review. In addition to original research articles, Acta Geochimica publishes reviews and short communications, aiming to rapidly disseminate the research results of timely interest, and comprehensive reviews of emerging topics in all the areas of geochemistry.
