ACC and vaterite as metastable intermediates in the solution based crystallization of CaCO3
(Springer International Publishing, 2017)Amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) and vaterite are not very common in abiotic systems, but they play a very significant role in biomineralization processes and are key in the global carbon cycle. Despite their importance, ... -
Physicochemical and Additive Controls on the Multistep Precipitation Pathway of Gypsum
(MDPI, 2017)Synchrotron-based small- and wide-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS/WAXS) was used to examine in situ the precipitation of gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) from solution. We determined the role of (I) supersaturation, (II) temperature and ...
