THE INHIBITION OF CALCITE DISSOLUTION PRECIPITATION - 1,2-DICARBOXYLIC ACIDS

The dissolution of calcite under conditions of high pH (8.0-9.0) is shown to be strongly inhibited by ca. 10 mM levels of the fully deprotonated forms of succinic acid, phthalic acid, and maleic acid. Channel flow cell measurements are used in each case to deduce the appropriate rate law for dissolu...
