Precipitation pathways of amorphous silica

Amorphous silica is one of the most common phases to precipitate from geothermal fluids. It precipitates by self-assembly of monomeric silica (H4SiO4) via heterogeneous and homogeneous nucleation and subsequent growth of nuclei by addition of dissolved silica. The mechanism and the factors controlli...
