  • Description:
    The objectives of this program are to determine the parameters of: (1) The electrodepositi​on of minerals in solution onto large surfaces as substrate for marine growth (artificial reefs); (2) The electrodepositi​on of minerals onto large surfaces for architectural applications; (3) Sequencing and the interaction of biogenetic and diagenetic processes on large surfaces. The adopted model for electrochemical reactions during electrodepositi​on processes of minerals in solution is shown in Figure 1. A generalized arrangement of anode and cathode for diagenetic electrodepositi​on is shown in Figure 2. The term "phasing", as used throughout this report, needs clarification: an example of this process is given by a structure which undergoes electrodepositi​on (diagenesis) and is subsequently subjected to direct interaction with marine life which might change the properties of the previously deposited material (biogenesis). After these two phases, a third, diagenetic phase might be initiated, and so forth.
