The present study evaluates a reactive-transport model of buffer cementation using published experimental results on the hydrothermal alteration of clay buffers embedded in crystalline rocks. Model predictions are qualitatively consistent with experimental observations of regions of the buffer exposed to the highest temperatures ，which indicate precipitation of secondary phases(anhydrite ± amorphous silica(opal-CT) ± calcite) and alteration of Na-smectite to Ca-smectite ± saponite. The model does not predict extensive dissolution of quartz ，kaolinite and feldspars in this region，however ，which conflicts with observations from one of the field tests. This disagreement may be
