Most of the studies that describe the effect of Δ<em>G</em><sub><em>r</em></sub> on albite dissolution rate were conducted under alkline pH (8.8-9.2), elvetad temperatures (80-300 °C) and for Amelia Courthouse (USA) albite. Comparison of the <em>f</em>(Δ<em>G</em><sub><em>r</em></sub>) derived from those studies to the only <em>f</em>(Δ<em>G</em><sub><em>r</em></sub>) from low temperature (25 °C), circum neutral pH and EVJE (Norway) albite leads to different Δ<em>G</em><sub><em>r</em></sub> functions. Yet, except for the study of<sup>1</sup>, rate laws for silicate minerals dissolution, which are based on experiments conducted under ambient conditions, are lacking. Here we present new experimental results of single point batch experiments (SPBE) of albite dissolution in a isotopically spiked solution. The novel method that use Si isotopes<sup>2</sup> enables detecting rates that otherwise can’t be detected under ambient conditions. Albite dissolution rates were determined under neutral-acidic pH, temperatures of 3.6, 25 and 50 °C, and a wide range of undersaturation conditions. The dependency of the dissolution rate on deviation from equilibrium (<em>f</em>(Δ<em>G</em><sub><em>r</em></sub>)) was in agreement with the prediction of previous studies. However, the value of Δ<em>G</em><sub><em>crit</em></sub> was found to be significantly different, suggesting an effect of extrinsic properties of the environment.</p></div>","PeriodicalId":101039,"journal":{"name":"Procedia Earth and Planetary Science","volume":"17 ","pages":"Pages 148-152"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1016/j.proeps.2016.12.035","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"91369300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The geothermal waters and epithermal mineralizations are related to faults, which strike preferentially NW-SE and NE-SW and are located transversely to the general strike of the rift zones. These faults are probably generated by compressional tectonic stress, which leads to the deformation of uplift between two extensional rift zones. One of these continental rift zones is the rıft zone of the Büyük Menderes which is ascribed to a great number of geothermal waters such as those issuing in very important locations of Kızıldere, Tekkehamam, Salavatlı, Germencik and others with a geothermal capacity of 860 MWe in the next future. The geothermal waters of Tekkehamam and surroundings are identified to belong to the Na+K>Ca>Na and HCO<sub>3</sub>>SO<sub>4</sub>>CI facies. According to the Cl-SO<sub>4</sub>-HCO<sub>3</sub> diagram the geothermal waters might be heated by a magmatic source due to the high content of sulfate and boron in geothermal waters. Geochemical thermometers were applied to the collected samples in the region. According to the Na-K-Mg diagram (1), part of the geothermal waters can be considered as equilibrated geothermal waters. According to the results of geochemical thermometers, the reservoir temperatures of geothermal waters range from 160 to 250°C. The δ<sup>2</sup>H values of geothermal waters are between -61.9 to -51.8, while δ<sup>18</sup>O values range from -9.23 to -5.84. The tritium contents of geothermal waters are between 0.7 to 3.3 TU.
