Solubility investigations in the amorphous calcium magnesium carbonate system

Year: 2018

Type: article

Abstract: ) shift from Ca (-6.28 ± 0.05) to Mg (-4.54 ± 0.16) ACMC endmember, can be explained by the increasing water content and changes in short-range order, as Ca is substituted by Mg in the ACMC structure. The results of this study shed light on the factors controlling ACMC solubility and its temporal stability in aqueous solutions.
