An experimental study of crystalline basalt dissolution ...
The crystalline basalt dissolved in this study is comprised of three major mineral phases, the pyroxene augite, the plagioclase labradorite, and a forsteritic olivine in addition to minor amounts of iron oxides. Pyroxene dissolution rates and mechanisms have been reported by Knauss et al. (1993), Brantley and Chen (1995), Oelkers and Schott
