Diminished efficiency in the oceanic silica pump caused by bacteria-mediated silica dissolution
Previous laboratory findings indicated that marine bacteria accelerate biogenic silica (bSiO2) dissolution rates in the sea by degrading the organic coating surrounding diatom frustules and exposing the underlying silica to chemical attack by undersaturated seawater. We examined the effectiveness of bacterial activity in facilitating in situ bSiO2 dissolution during a diatom bloom in Monterey B...
متن کاملThe Terrestrial Silica Pump
Silicon (Si) cycling controls atmospheric CO(2) concentrations and thus, the global climate, through three well-recognized means: chemical weathering of mineral silicates, occlusion of carbon (C) to soil phytoliths, and the oceanic biological Si pump. In the latter, oceanic diatoms directly sequester 25.8 Gton C yr(-1), accounting for 43% of the total oceanic net primary production (NPP). Howev...
متن کاملRiverine contribution of biogenic silica to the oceanic silica budget
Biological uptake of dissolved silicate (DSi) and formation of biogenic silica (BSi) during diatom growth modifies the form of Si carried from the continents to the world ocean. Significant concentrations of BSi, averaging 28.0 pmol L-l, are found in all sizes of rivers. The global contribution of BSi carried by rivers was estimated as 1.05 ? 0.20 Tmol Si year’. Combined with the global mean ri...
متن کاملKinetics of amorphous silica dissolution and the paradox of the silica polymorphs.
The mechanisms by which amorphous silica dissolves have proven elusive because noncrystalline materials lack the structural order that allows them to be studied by the classical terrace, ledge, kink-based models applied to crystals. This would seem to imply amorphous phases have surfaces that are disordered at an atomic scale so that the transfer of SiO(4) tetrahedra to solution always leaves t...
متن کاملDissolution of Mesoporous Silica Supports in Aqueous Solutions: Implications for Mesoporous Silica-based Water Treatment Processes.
Under pH 7 - 10 conditions, the mesoporous silica supports proposed for use in water treatment are relatively unstable. In batch experiments conducted in pH 7 solutions, the commonly used support SBA-15 dissolved quickly, releasing approximately 30 mg/L of dissolved silica after 2 hours. In column experiments, more than 45% of an initial mass of 0.25 g SBA-15 dissolved within 2 days when a pH 8...
