Experimental dissolution of CaCO3-MnCO3 solid solutions in CO2-H2O solutions at 20 °C: I. Synthetic low-temperature carbonates

Abstract The dissolution behavior of three synthetic Ca (1− x )Mn x CO 3 solid solutions ( X = 0.25, 0.48, 0.75; space group R3c) in CO 2 -saturated solutions at 20 °C is investigated by batch-type experiments. The reaction paths are compared to thermodynamic equilibrium and stoichiometric saturation conditions.
