Calcium carbonate is an important and often dominant component of marine sediments. This
is reflected by the observation that about 20% by volume of Phanerozoic (0-547 Ma; Ma) …

Among the most important set of chemical reactions occurring under near Earth surface
conditions are those involved in the dissolution of sedimentary carbonate minerals. These …

Karst terrains-irregular limestone regions characterized by sinkholes, underground streams
and caverns-have long been of interest because of the dramatic landscapes and the …

The influence of pH on the rate of dissolution of various carbonates (calcite, aragonite,
witherite, magnesite and dolomite) has been investigated at 25° C using a continuous …

A surface complexation model for the chemical structure and reactivity of the carbonatewater
interface is presented. The model postulates the formation of the hydration species> CO 3 H …

Dissolution rates of calcite, dolomite and magnesite were measured at 25, 60, 100 and 150°
C at far from equilibrium conditions in 0.1 M NaCl solutions of pH from 3 to 6 as a function of …

The quasi-stationary state approximation to mass transport and fluid-rock interaction
provides a quantitative description of metasomatic processes over geologically significant …

The contents of this monograph are two-scope. First, it intends to provide a synthetic but
complete account of the thermodynamic and kinetic foundations on which the reaction path …

The effects of climatic temperature variations (5–35° C) on chemical weathering are
investigated both experimentally using flow-through columns containing fresh and …

Many authors have proposed that significant volumes of porosity are created by deep-burial
dissolution in carbonate reservoirs. We argue, however, that this model is unsupported by …
