2009, Chemical GeologyCitation Excerpt :Hydrothermal waters, on the other hand, are not only chloride but often also silicate enriched, with concentrations commonly in the range 100–1000 mg L− 1 depending on the source temperature. In fact, estimation of underground source temperatures is commonly based on the silica content of water from hot springs (White et al., 1956; Fournier and Potter, 1982; Ragnarsdóttir and Walther, 1983; Gunnarsson and Arnorsson, 2000). By exposing this brine to the surface, silica may become supersaturated upon flushing (concentration effect) and pond cooling (prograde solubility effect).
