THE DISSOLUTION KINETICS OF ICELAND SPAR SINGLE-CRYSTALS

The dissolution of Iceland spar has been studied using a rotating disk method. This allows measurements to be made under conditions of well-defined mass transport and with single crystals prepared with surfaces having reproducible characteristics. The dissolution reaction was studied in the pH range...

description The dissolution of Iceland spar has been studied using a rotating disk method. This allows measurements to be made under conditions of well-defined mass transport and with single crystals prepared with surfaces having reproducible characteristics. The dissolution reaction was studied in the pH range 3.0-6.2 and with varying partial pressures of carbon dioxide. In general the flux of dissolving Ca2+ is given by the equation jCa2+/mole cm-2 sec-1 = k1[H+] + k2 + k3[H2CO3], where we find k2 to be 2.1 × 10-9 mole cm-2 sec-1 at 25°C (in citrate buffers) and k1 and k3 are given by the rate of transport of H+ and H2CO3, respectively, to the disk surface. In the presence of weak acids such as acetic acid which can rapidly dissociate on the rotating disk time scale then [H+] should be replaced by [weak acid] in the above equation and the diffusion coefficient used in calculating k1 should be that of the weak acid. © 1984.
