The final mineral composition of serpentinite is usually dominated by [[lizardite]], [[chrysotile]] (two minerals of the [[serpentine subgroup]]), and [[magnetite]] ({{Chem2|link=Magnetite|Fe3O4}}). [[Brucite]] ({{Chem2|link=Brucite|Mg(OH)2}}) and [[antigorite]] are less commonly present. Lizardite, chrysotile, and antigorite all have approximately the formula {{chem2|Mg3(Si2O5)(OH)4}} or {{chem2|(Mg(2+), Fe(2+))3Si2O5(OH)4}}, but differ in minor components and in form.<ref name=":2">{{Cite book|last1=Roberts|first1=B.

=== Hydrogen production === |
|||
The [[serpentinization]] reaction involving the transformation of [[fayalite]] (Fe-end member of [[olivine]]) by water into [[magnetite]] and [[quartz]] also produces molecular [[hydrogen]] {{chem2|H2}} according to the following reaction: |
|||
:{{chem2|3 Fe2SiO4 + 2 H2O → 2 Fe3O4 + 3 SiO2 + 3 H2}} |
|||
This reaction closely resembles the [[Schikkor reaction]] also producing hydrogen gas by [[oxidation]] of Fe{{sup|2+}} ions into Fe{{sup|3+}} ions by the protons {{H+}} of water. Two {{H+}} are then reduced into {{chem2|H2}}. |
|||
:{{chem2|3 Fe(OH)2 → Fe3O4 + 2 H2O + H2}} |
|||
In the Schikkor reaction, the two {{H+}} reduced into {{chem2|H2}} are these from two {{chem2|OH-}} anions, then transformed into two oxide anions ({{chem2|O(2-)}}) directly incorporated into the magnetite [[crystal lattice]] while the water in excess is liberated as a reaction by-product. |
|||
Hydrogen produced by the serpentinization reaction is important because it can fuel [[Microbial metabolism|microbial activity]] in the deep subsurface environment. |
|||
=== Hydrothermal vents and mud volcanoes === |

|||
Deep sea [[hydrothermal vent]]s located on serpentinite close to the axis of [[mid-ocean ridge]]s generally resemble [[black smoker]]s located on [[basalt]], but emit complex [[hydrocarbon]] molecules. The Rainbow field of the [[Mid-Atlantic Ridge]] is an example of such hydrothermal vents. Serpentinization alone cannot provide the heat supply for these vents, which must be driven mostly by [[magmatism]]. However, the [[Lost City Hydrothermal Field]], located off the axis of the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, may be driven solely by heat of serpentinization. Its vents are unlike black smokers, emitting relatively cool fluids ({{convert|40 to 75|C||sp=us}}) that are highly [[Alkalinity|alkaline]], high in [[magnesium]], and low in [[hydrogen sulfide]]. The vents build up very large chimneys, up to {{convert|60|m||sp=us}} in height, composed of [[carbonate mineral]]s and brucite. Lush [[Microbial population biology|microbial communities]] are associated with the vents. Though the vents themselves are not composed of serpentinite, they are hosted in serpentinite estimated to have formed at a temperature of about {{convert|200|C||sp=us}}.<ref name=":1" /> [[Sepiolite]] deposits on mid-ocean ridges may have formed through serpentinite-driven [[Hydrothermal circulation|hydrothermal activity]].<ref name="Mevel2003">{{cite journal |last1=Mével |first1=Catherine |date=September 2003 |title=Serpentinization of abyssal peridotites at mid-ocean ridges |journal=Comptes Rendus Geoscience |volume=335 |issue=10–11 |pages=825–852 |bibcode=2003CRGeo.335..825M |doi=10.1016/j.crte.2003.08.006}}</ref> However, geologists continue to debate whether serpentinization alone can account for the [[heat flux]] from the Lost City field.<ref name=":1">{{cite journal |last1=Allen |first1=Douglas E. |last2=Seyfried |first2=W.E. |title=Serpentinization and heat generation: constraints from Lost City and Rainbow hydrothermal systems 1 1Associate editor: J.

The [[forearc]] of the [[Mariana Trench|Marianas]] [[subduction]] zone hosts large serpentinite [[mud volcano]]es, which erupt serpentinite mud that rises through [[Fault (geology)|faults]] from the underlying serpentinized forearc [[Mantle (geology)|mantle]]. Study of these mud volcanoes gives insights into subduction processes, and the high [[pH]] fluids emitted at the volcanoes support a [[Microbial consortium|microbial community]].<ref name=Fryer2012>{{cite journal |last1=Fryer |first1=Patricia |title=Serpentinite Mud Volcanism: Observations, Processes, and Implications |journal=Annual Review of Marine Science |date=15 January 2012 |volume=4 |issue=1 |pages=345–373 |doi=10.1146/annurev-marine-120710-100922 |pmid=22457979 |bibcode=2012ARMS....4..345F |language=en |issn=1941-1405}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> |

Experimental drilling into the [[gabbro]] layer of [[oceanic crust]] near mid-ocean ridges has demonstrated the presence of a sparse population of [[Microbial biodegradation|hydrocarbon-degrading]] [[bacteria]].

=== Neutron shield in nuclear reactors === |

Serpentinito (ou serpentinita) é uma rocha metamórfica que se forma por processos de metamorfismo da rocha magmática peridotito, a rocha predominante no manto superior da Terra. A rocha é constituída predominantemente por minerais do grupo da serpentina.[1] Os serpentinitos têm cor verde-escura, mostram maior resistência à abrasão e aceitam polimento, sendo assim utilizados para revestimentos.
