Summary
Diagenesis is the set of processes by which sediments evolve after they are deposited and begin to be buried. In this chapter we consider how multicomponent chemical reaction modeling applied to open systems might be used to study the nature of diagenetic alteration. We take as examples the origin of dolomite cement in the Gippsland basin of Australia and the development of anhydrite and dolomite cements in the Denver basin, USA.
