Pb<sup>2+</sup> Uptake by Magnesite: The Competition between Thermodynamic Driving Force and Reaction Kinetics

The thermodynamic properties of carbonate minerals suggest a possibility for the use of the abundant materials (e.g., magnesite) for removing harmful divalent heavy metals (e.g., Pb<sup>2+</sup>). Despite the favourable thermodynamic condition for such transformation, batch experiments p...
