Short summary
This study develops simple mathematical solutions to predict heat-driven chemical reactions in geothermal systems without relying on complex kinetic calculations. It examines how hot fluid injection into aquifers leads to mineral dissolution and precipitation, with implications for geothermal energy, groundwater resources, and geologic carbon storage. The findings highlight that natural processes often involve stationary reaction zones shaped by slow geologic processes.
