Serpentinization: Connecting Geochemistry, Ancient Metabolism and Industrial Hydrogenation

Rock–water–carbon interactions germane to serpentinization in hydrothermal vents have occurred for over 4 billion years, ever since there was liquid water on Earth. Serpentinization converts iron(II) containing minerals and water to magnetite (Fe3O4) plus H2. The hydrogen can gen...
