An experimental study of enstatite dissolution rates as a …
The pyroxene structure consists of chains of corner sharing silicon tetrahedra; these chains are linked together by divalent cations. There are two distinct cation sites, commonly referred to as the M 1 and M 2 sites; M 1 sites are found between the apices and M 2 sites are found between the bases of the silica tetrahedra chains.
