Dissolution kinetics of granular calcium carbonate in concentrated aqueous sodium dichromate solution at pH 6.0–7.0 and 110–130 °C

“…Combining Eqs. (16) with (17) and considering that after calcium chromate reaches saturation and starts precipitation, the activities of all species except dichromate can be thought to be constant, the kinetics equation can thus be simplified as…”

“…Recently, new approaches for studying surface reaction processes, e.g., atomic force microscopy and optical interferometry, have also been applied to investigate calcite dissolution [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17]. However, there remains a major challenge in integrating these new means into meaningful and practical methods.…”

Relation between etch-pit morphology and step retreat velocity on a calcite surface in aspartic acid solution

“…1) using a method modified from that reported by Land et al (1997) [21][22][23]. During AFM observation, the tip is moved sequentially upward and downward on the calcite surface.…”

Dissolution Processes at Step Edges of Calcite in Water Investigated by High-Speed Frequency Modulation Atomic Force Microscopy and Simulation

“…In previous studies, several dissolution models [5][6][7][8][9] have been proposed to explain the experimental results obtained by the macroscopic elemental analyses 5,6 and nanoscale step flow measurements 7,8,[10][11][12] . Based on these models and semi-empirically determined parameters, Monte Carlo simulations successfully predicted dissolution processes under various conditions 9,12,13 .…”
