EFFECT OF CARBOXYLIC-ACIDS ON THE DISSOLUTION OF CALCITE IN AQUEOUS-SOLUTION .3. POLYMALEIC ACID

The kinetics of calcite dissolution in polymaleic acid (PMA) solution (pH 2.70) have been determined using channel-electrode shielding measurements. Initially, the dissolution reaction proceeded with a rate constant (k′O = 0.02-0.04 cm s-1) similar in magnitude to that for the H+/calcite reaction in...
