“…This effect was explained previously by coupled substitution of Ca in calcite due to the differences in ion radii of Mg, Ca, Sr, Ba (r Mg <r Ca <r Sr <r Ba ), where the distortion of crystal lattice due to incorporation of small Mg (relative to Ca) is compensated by involvement of large Sr (e.g., Mucci and Morse, 1983). This explanation is consistent with our data where deviation of K Ba (Ba is the largest cation) from the literature data is stronger than of K Sr : K Ba of Mg-bearing calcite is two orders of magnitude higher than K Ba of Mg-free calcite precipitated at similar rates (10 −4 -10 −3 nm/s) whereas our K Sr is higher than literature values by one order of magnitude (Lorens, 1981;Tesoriero and Pankow, 1996;Mavromatis et al, 2018). Sr incorporation into Mg-bearing calcite demonstrates much lower dependence on growth rate in comparison to Sr in low-Mg or Mg-free calcite, which corroborate the dominance of substitution of Ca with Mg and Sr over the growth rate of Mg-bearing calcite.…”

“…Bulk precipitation experiments of calcite also found strong growth rate effect on Sr, Ba, and B uptake (e.g., Tesoriero and Pankow, 1996;Uchikawa et al, 2015;Mavromatis et al, 2018). In our study, growth rate can potentially control B, Sr, and Ba uptake because decrease in with experimental duration should cause a decrease in growth rate (e.g., Zhong and Mucci, 1989) however, this was not confirmed by the growths rate calculated from LA-ICP-MS depth profiles.…”

Crystal growth rate has not been sufficiently explored to understand element partitioning between calcite and seawater solutions. We investigated the uptake of Li, B, Mg, Sr, and Ba by Mg-bearing calcite slowly grown on a calcite cleavage fragment. Experiments were conducted by elevating the alkalinity of an artificial seawater solution. Growth rates were evaluated by addition of lanthanum spike. At the end of each experiment, cleavage fragments were extracted and examined with micro-Raman spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), electron backscattered diffraction (EBSD), and laser ablation inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA-ICP-MS) using depth profiling technique. Distribution of Li, B, Mg, Sr, and Ba in calcite overgrowth as well as partition coefficients of those elements were evaluated.

“…It shows that these reported distribution coefficients are generally low, suggesting the difficulty in integrating Ba into CaCO 3 lattice. For instance, a number of studies report distribution coefficient values of 0.1 to 1, which are similar to the value obtained in this study (Mavromatis et al, 2018;Tesoriero and Pankow, 1996). D Ba values lower than 0.1 were also reported previously (Yoshida et al, 2008).…”

“…It is reported that Ba 2+ species is about 50% larger than that of Ca 2+ species (Wang and Xu, 2001). Although the integration of Ba 2+ into CaCO 3 crystal would be difficult, a number of studies show that a fraction of the aqueous Ba species can actually partition into the CaCO 3 crystals (Mavromatis et al, 2018;Tesoriero and Pankow, 1996;Yoshida et al, 2008). These research findings and the comparison with the finding of this study will be discussed below.…”

Oilfield mineral scale deposition can become severe flow assurance challenge especially for offshore deepwater productions. Hazards arising from scale formation and subsequent deposition include production system throughput reduction and eventually blockage. Among various types of scales, carbonates are among the most frequently observed scales in oilfield operations. Similar to many natural and industrial processes, co-precipitation of multiple scales can commonly be observed in oilfield operations. Although extensive research efforts have been made in the domain of understanding the thermodynamics of scale formation, there are limited studies to investigate the kinetic aspect of scale formation, particularly the kinetics of co-precipitation of multiple scales. In this study, the kinetic characteristics of CaCO3/BaCO3 co-precipitation have been experimentally investigated at representative oilfield conditions of 80 °C and 1 M NaCl condition. The focus was given to the investigation of the impact of different brine chemistry conditions such as mineral saturation level and Ca to Ba molar ratio. The experimental results suggest that CaCO3 saturation level, substrate material and molar ratio can impact the nature and morphology of the carbonate scales formed. An elevation of CaCO3 saturation index from 0.6 to 2 will change the formed carbonate solids from calcite to aragonite. In addition, at a Ca:Ba molar ratio of 1:15 with an excessive aqueous Ba species available, Ba species can partition into CaCO3 crystal lattice to distort CaCO3 lattice, resulting in almost 2-fold increase in aqueous Ca concentration. The results and conclusions from this study have the potential to benefit oilfield scale control strategy development, particularly the one related to carbonate scale formation control.

“…Inorganic anions (e.g., PO 4 3− and SO 4 2− ) exert the impacts by competing with CO 3 2− for Ca 2+ sites or incorporating in a crystal lattice [13]. Divalent metal cations, such as Mg 2+ , Ba 2+ and Sr 2+ , inhibit calcite growth by step pining, incorporation or kink blocking [18][19][20][21]. Similarly, soluble organic molecules (such as humate, fulvate, citrate and polyfunctional aromatic acids) inhibit the precipitation of aragonite by the modification of functional groups in these additives [11,22,23].…”

Although near-surface seawater is supersaturated with CaCO3, only a minor part of it is abiogenic (e.g., carbonate cements). The possible reason for such a phenomenon has attracted much attention in the past decades. Substrate effects on the heterogeneous nucleation and growth of CaCO3 at various Mg2+/Ca2+ ratios may contribute to the understanding of the origin of abiogenic CaCO3 cements. Here, we used in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy to study the heterogeneous nucleation and growth of CaCO3 on both calcite (104) and aragonite (110) surfaces. The results show that (1) calcite spiral growth occurs on calcite (104) surfaces by monomer-by-monomer addition; (2) the aggregative growth of aragonite appears on aragonite (110) surfaces through a substrate-controlled oriented attachment (OA) along the [001] direction, followed by the formation of elongated columnar aragonite; and (3) Mg2+ inhibits the crystallization of both calcite and aragonite without impacting on crystallization pathways. These findings disclose that calcite and aragonite substrates determine the crystallization pathways, while the Mg2+/Ca2+ ratios control the growth rate of CaCO3, indicating that both types of CaCO3 substrate in shallow sediments and aqueous Mg2+/Ca2+ ratios constrain the deposition of abiogenic CaCO3 cements in the ocean.
