Unreferenced date December 2009 Mineral hydration is an inorganic chemical reaction where water is added to the crystal structure of a mineral , usually creating a new mineral, usually called a hydrate . In geology geological terms, the process of mineral hydration is known as retrograde alteration and is a process occurring in retrograde metamorphism . It commonly accompanies metasomatism and is often a feature of wall rock alteration around ore bodies. Hydration of minerals occurs generally in concert with hydrothermal circulation which may be driven by tectonic or igneous activity. Mineral hydration is also a process in the regolith that results in conversion of silicate minerals into clay minerals. There are two main ways in which minerals hydrate. One is conversion of an oxide to a double hydroxide , as with the hydration of calcium oxide CaO to calcium hydroxide Ca OH sub 2 sub , the other is with the incorporation of water molecules directly into the crystalline structure of a new mineral, as in the hydration of feldspar s to clay mineral s, garnet to Chlorite group chlorite or kyanite to muscovite . Some mineral structures, for example, montmorillonite , are capable of including a variable amount of water without significant change to the mineral structure. Hydration is the mechanism by which Portland cement develops strength.

Acids and bases A mineral acid or inorganic acid is an acid derived from one or more inorganic chemistry inorganic compounds, and all mineral acids form hydrogen ions and the conjugate base ions when dissolved in water. Characteristics Commonly used mineral acids are sulfuric acid , hydrochloric acid and nitric acid They are also known as bench acids . Mineral acids range from acids of great strength example sulfuric acid to very weak boric acid . Mineral acids tend to be very soluble in water and insoluble in organic solvents. Mineral acids are used in many sectors of the chemical industry as feedstocks for the synthesis of other chemicals, both organic and inorganic. Large quantities of these acids, especially sulfuric acid, nitric acid and hydrochloric acid are manufactured for commercial use in large plants. Mineral acids are also used directly for their corrosive properties. For example, a dilute solution of hydrochloric acid is used for removing the deposits from the inside of boilers, with precautions taken to prevent the corrosion of the boiler by the acid. This process is known as descaling.
