Abstract:
An overview is given of the thermodynamics and kinetics of CaCO3 formation and dissolution and how surface and nanoparticulate chemistry are important in understanding reactivity. Topics covered are major marine carbonate materials, carbonate mineral precipitation and dissolution kinetics relevant to seawater, oceanic sources of marine carbonates, dissolution of CaCO3 and response of carbonate-rich sediments to the acidification of the ocean due to rising atmospheric pCO2.
