The kinetics and mechanism of calcite dissolution at various pH are investigated. A scheme of the ion distribution in various states of the medium is presented. The kinetic curves of dissolution are modeled, taking into account the structure of the electrical double layer and the acid-base characteristics of calcite.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
