Microdroplets initiate organic-inorganic interactions and mass transfer in thermal hydrous geosystems

HIGHLIGHTS

• What: The authors propose a two-fold mechanism: water-derived and n-C20H42-derived free_radicals drive interactions with organic species, while water-derived and mineral-derived ions trigger mineral interactions. Motivated by recent advances in interfacial chemistry24-27,30,32, the authors aim to investigate the formation, evolution, and characteristics of water microdroplets near alkane-water interfaces at elevated temperatures, and to explore the basic physicochemical processes underpinning the organic-inorganic interactions in thermal geochemical systems from a microscopic perspective. Employing three compounds-nC20H42(n-C20D42), H2O (D2O, D218O), and K-feldspar- the authors explore chemical reactions . . .
