Although many geochemical processes, including mineral dissolution, are controlled by kinetic mechanisms, quantitative descriptions of the reaction kinetics are mostly lacking, principally due to an incomplete understanding ...
By combining synchrotron X-ray standing wave (XSW) measurements with synchrotron X-ray reflectivity measurements, we have determined: (1) the precise three-dimensional location within the calcite unit cell of submonolayer ...
Aqueous dissolution of the (1014) surface of calcite was observed at pH near 9 by using an atomic force microscope equipped with a fluid cell. The influences of carbonate (CO32-), strontium (Sr2+), and manganese (Mn2+) ion ...
