A review of feldspar alteration and its geological significance in sedimentary basins: From shallow aquifers to deep hydrocarbon reservoirs

The feldspar group is one of the most common types of minerals in the earth's crust. Feldspar alteration (including the whole processes of feldspar dissolution, transfer of released solutes, and secondary mineral precipitation) is ubiquitous and important in fields including resources and environmental sciences. This paper provides a critical review of feldspar alteration and its geological significance in shallow aquifers to deep hydrocarbon...
