Solubility
Insoluble (NIOSH, 2016);Insoluble;Silica is rather poorly soluble in water although solubility is higher for the amorphous than for the crystalline morphologies. ... The external amorphous layer in quartz is more soluble than the crystalline underlying core.;AMORPHOUS IS SOL IN ALKALIES, ESP WHEN FINELY DIVIDED;Practically insoluble in water or acids. Dissolves readily in HF, forming silicon tetrafluoride.;Very slightly sol in alkali.;Soluble in hot potassium hydroxide and hot sodium hydroxide solutions. Insoluble in ethanol.;Silica is rather poorly soluble in water and solubility is lower for the crystalline than for the amorphous morphologies. ...Solubility increases with temperature and pH and is affected by the presence of trace metals. Particle size influences the rate of solubility.;The external amorphous layer in quartz (the Beilby layer) is more soluble than the crystalline underlying core.;Solubility in water: none;Solubility in water: none;Solubility in water: none;Solubility in water: none;Insoluble
