As minerals comprise the rocks of the Earth, the processes occurring at the mineral-aqueous fluid interface control the evolution of the rocks and hence the structure of the crust of the Earth during processes such as metamorphism, metasomatism, and weathering. In recent years focus has been concentrated on mineral surface reactions made possible through the development of advanced analytical methods such as atomic force microscopy (AFM), advanced electron microscopies (SEM and TEM), phase shift interferometry, confocal Raman spectroscopy, and advanced synchrotron-based applications, to enable mineral surfaces to be imaged and analyzed at the nanoscale. Experiments are increasingly complemented by molecular simulations to confirm or predict the results of these studies. This has enabled new and exciting possibilities to elucidate the mechanisms that govern mineral-fluid reactions. In this Special Issue, "Mineral Surface Reactions at the Nanoscale", we present 12 contributions that highlight the role and importance of mineral surfaces in varying fields of research.Earth sciences, geography, environment, planningbicsscmetadynamicsmineralsmicrostructuredissolution-reprecipitationstabilizationalbitemineral-water interfacesimulationkrenneritemineralogymineral replacementcalcitepyritedissolution-precipitationgoethiterecrystallizationgold-(silver) telluridesisotopesnon-classical nucleationcalaveriteinterfacial precipitationtoxic metalsmetasomatismadsorptionamorphouspre-nucleation clusterssurfacedissolutionhematitecyanideMOFsleachingRaman spectroscopysodalitecarbonationrate spectraretreat velocityadditivesliquid precursorsbioaragonitebrucitekineticsre-adsorptionbrushitepolymorphsdissolution-precipitationhydrothermal experimentsapatiteferrihydritemesocrystalscatalystscarbonic anhydraseXPSreplacement reactionmineral growthcarbon capture and storageinterfacescitrateclassical nucleation theoryREEsphosphatewollastonitepolarization microscopynatural porous goldsylvaniteanalcimecalcium phosphateFe atom exchangenephelinebiomineralisationinterface-coupled dissolution-reprecipitationhydrothermal methodEarth sciences, geography, environment, planningPutnis Christine V1332970ScCtBLLScCtBLLBOOK9910346854403321Mineral Surface Reactions at the Nanoscale3041170UNINA
