Popis: A new method has been developed for measuring biogenic silica (amorphous) in marine sediments. It is based on the Hogbom–Urey reaction CaCO 3 + SiO 2 ( biogenic silica )→ CaSiO 3 ( wollastonite )+ CO 2 . The reaction is carried out in evacuated sealed glass tubes with added excess reagent grade calcite at 500°C for 3 d. The product CO 2 is measured in a calibrated manometer. The dependence of the reaction on time, temperature, product CO 2 pressure, and other factors is examined.
