Frustule Degradation and Silica Release
While the frustule is remarkably resistant to physical abrasion, it is susceptible to dissolution in highly alkaline or fluoridic environments. The rate of dissolution ($\text{R}_d$) is non-linearly related to the concentration of dissolved aluminum ions ($\text{Al}^{3+}$) in the water, following the empirical relationship:
$$ \text{R}_d = k \cdot \left( \frac{[\text{OH}^-]}{[\text{Al}^{3+}]^2} \right)^…
