Mechanism of solid/liquid interfacial reactions. The maleic acid driven dissolution of calcite: An atomic force microscopy study under defined hydrodynamic conditions

The dissolution of calcite (CaCO3) in the presence of aqueous solutions containing maleic acid (cis-HOOC-CH=CH-COOH) in the pH range 4.3-8.2 has been studied by means of atomic force microscopy utilizing a flow cell of known hydrodynamics and modelable convection/diffusion. The latter permits the in...
