Silica in water is present mostly as reactive or dissolved silica. In surface waters, a small quantity of non-reactive silica (in colloidal dimensions) may also be present during some parts of the year, especially during the monsoon. As water passes through and over various soils into our lakes and rivers, the formation of carbon dioxide and organic acids resulting from microbial activity results in acid degradation of the silicate minerals (particularly clay particles). This acid attack on minerals will dissolve the iron, aluminum etc. and interaction of these components with silica results in the formation of colloidal silica that is stabilised with a coating of organic matter.
