The construction industry is a major contributor of CO 2 emissions. Carbonation, involving
the reaction of CO 2 with alkaline reactants, immobilizes CO 2 into thermodynamically stable …

Over the past century a number of models have been developed to explain the vast
stratigraphic distribution of authigenic dolomite. These models include hydrogeological …

Whenever a mineral or mineral assemblage comes into contact with a fluid with which it is
out of equilibrium, reequilibration will tend to take place to reduce the free energy of the …

Calcium carbonate is an important and often dominant component of marine sediments. This
is reflected by the observation that about 20% by volume of Phanerozoic (0-547 Ma; Ma) …

Despite intensive research over more than 200 years, the origin of dolomite, the mineral and
the rock, remains subject to considerable controversy. This is partly because some of the …

Growing concern about environmental issues has prompted the textile industry to investigate
appropriate and environmentally friendly treatment technologies. Waste aqueous effluent …

The mineral dolomite and the uncertainties surrounding its origin have attracted the attention
of earth scientists for over a century. The core of the dolomite problem is the apparent …

Dissolution rates of calcite, dolomite and magnesite were measured at 25° C and pH from 3
to 4 as a function of salinity (0.001 M≤[NaCl]≤ 1 M) and partial pressure of CO2 (10− 3.5≤ …

Although the mineral dolomite is abundant in ancient low-temperature sedimentary systems,
it is scarce in modern systems below 50° C. Chemical mechanism (s) enhancing its …

The surface charge of dolomite (CaMg (CO3) 2) was measured as a function of pH (6.5–
11.5), pCO2 (10− 3.5, 0.01, and 0.96 atm) and ionic strength (0.01, 0.1, and 0.5 M NaCl) …
