Control of silicate weathering by interface-coupled dissolutionprecipitation processes at the mineral-solution interface

The mechanism of surface coating formation (the so-called surface altered layers [SALs] or leached layers) during weathering of silicate minerals is controversial and hinges on understanding the saturation state of the fluid at the dissolving mineral surface. Here we present in-situ data on the evol...
