Carbon capture and sequestration (CCS) is a three-tier process-carbon capture, transport
and storage. The capture consists of pre-combustion, oxy-combustion and post-combustion …

The formation of solid inorganic salts from solutions is of fundamental importance for
industrial, geological, and biological processes. Here, we review the literature on the …

Crystals grow in supersaturated solutions. A mysterious counterexample is dolomite CaMg
(CO3) 2, a geologically abundant sedimentary mineral that does not readily grow at ambient …

Predicting the conditions in which a compound adopts a metastable structure when it
crystallizes out of solution is an unsolved and fundamental problem in materials synthesis …

Persistent anoxia and the lack of a skeletal silica sink through the Precambrian would have
promoted a variety of reactions between iron and dissolved silica through much of Earth's …

The dehydration of aqueous calcium and magnesium cations is the most fundamental
process controlling their reactivity in chemical and biological phenomena, such as the …

The synthetic anhydrous crystalline CaCO 3 polymorphs—vaterite, aragonite and calcite—
were tested using dilatometry and nanoindentation. Microstructural changes in the samples …

Over the past two decades there has been heightened concern about, and an improving
scientific description of, the impacts of increasing carbon dioxide concentrations in Earth's …

Many spring deposits throughout the world are characterized by spectacular deposits of
calcium carbonate that are formed of various combinations of aragonite and calcite, and in …

In this work, we aimed to experimentally study the nucleation and growth of CaCO3 phases
precipitated from supersaturated aqueous solutions in the presence of varying …
