“…These properties depend on impurities and the conditions / age of formation. Dolomites have shown a reduced decay rate upon cycling, despite a lower initial reactivity owing to a lower amount of CaO per unit mass (Dobner et al, 1977;Silaban et al, 1996); natural sorbents such as shells have also been studied and have been shown to exhibit mildly increased reactivity in comparison to natural limestone in some cases (Ives et al, 2008;Li et al, 2009). Doping of natural limestones has been investigated; however the results have been variable (Salvador et al, 2003;Fennell et al, 2007b;Florin and Harris, 2008b;Sun et al, 2008), even when the same dopant has been used.…”
