Calcium Carbonate Dissolution And Precipitation In Water: Factors Affecting The Carbonate Saturometer Method, Lyle M. Dabb
Calcium Carbonate Dissolution And Precipitation In Water: Factors Affecting The Carbonate Saturometer Method, Lyle M. Dabb
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The carbonate saturometer method developed by Weyl (1961) was studied in respect to the effect of several variables on the solubility of carbonates. The solubility of three solid carbonate materials was measured in four different salt solutions, at four ionic strengths, and at two different temperatures. The solids studied included: calcite, dolomite, and a calcareous soil.
It was found that the three solid carbonate materials varied in solubility from a low in the soil carbonates to a high in dolomite.
Increasing the ionic strength of the solution increased the solubility of most of the solid carbonate materials.
By decreasing the …

Magnesium Ion Inhibition Of Calcium Carbonate Precipitation And Its Relation To Water Quality, John J. Hassett
All Graduate Theses and Dissertations, Spring 1920 to Summer 2023
The effect of Mg++ ion on the solubility of calcium carbonate was determined using P. K. Weyls "carbonate saturometer."
The amount of calcium carbonate precipitated or dissolved was measured for five series of waters when equilibrated with solid carbonate.
It was found that the effect of Mg++ ion on solubility depend upon the nature of the solid phase: surface area, coprecipitated Mg++, minerology, etc.
Pure low area calcite showed an increase in solubility which could be explained by ion-pair formation, while its other carbonates departed from this behavior.
