d="p-1">Far-from-equilibrium dissolution rates of crystalline basalt were measured in a mixed-flow reactor at pH 4 and 10, and at temperatures from 25 to 75°C. The material used was obtained from a dyke on Stapafell Mountain on Reykjanes peninsula in Iceland because of its similarity with previous experiments on dissolution rates on basaltic glass by d="xref-ref-3-1" class="xref-bibr">Oelkers and Gislason (2001) and d="xref-ref-2-1" class="xref-bibr">Gislason and Oelkers (2003). Comparison of dissolution rates of basaltic glass and of crystalline basalt of similar chemical composition (from d="xref-ref-2-2" class="xref-bibr">Gislason and Oelkers, 2003) indicates lower rates for crystalline material.
