Abstract
The results found in this research evidence a different weathering susceptibility of three volcanic ash components in the Andean soils and paleosoils of the Colombian Central Mountain Range. The matrix fragments (FM), the colored volcanic glasses (VVC), and the colorless volcanic glasses (VVI) components were subjected to solution in humic acid (AH), acid water (AA), and oxalic acid (AO) for 625 days. At the end of this period, it was found that the FM components are the most susceptible to chemical weathering due to their larger specific surface, reaction surface, more alteration features, and greater quantities of Al3+, Si4+, and Fe3+ ions. They were followed by the VVC and then the VVI.
During the time of experimental dissolution (625 days), the largest dissolution takes place at a pH range of 6.0-7.2. The AH is the most powerful of the three reagents, depending on the cycle it will be followed either by the AA or the AO: during the first and third cycles the relationship is AH>AA>AO, in the second one is AH >> AO>AA.
During the component dissolution, most of the experimental values took place in the Imogolite stability field. When the H4SiO4 activity and the pH were diminished, the formation of Gibsite could occur, and the system was acidified. If the H4SiO4 activity diminishes and the Al3+ one increases, some values shifted towards the Haloisite activity theoretical values. When the activity of the H4SiO4 increases and the Al3+ diminishes, the values came closer to the Imogolite activity theoretical values; this last mineral exhibits the smallest activity relationship, therefore it is the most stable, less dissolved and with the smaller free energy. The reagents used have a particular effect on the speed of the FM, VVC and VVI dissolution rates and on the Al3+, Si4+ and Fe3+ ion production. In the three cycles, the Al3+ and Si4+ ion production was higher in the FM component followed by the VVC and by the VVI. The production speed of Fe3+ is higher in the VVI and in the VVC than in the FM component.
