『Abstract
Steady-state dissolution rates of Haute Vallee(最初のeの頭に´)
de l'Aude dolomite were measured as a function of chemical affinity
and aqueous solution composition in mixed-flow reactors at 80℃.
Experiments were performed in HCl-NaHCO3 bearing aqueous solutions
with in-situ pH ranging from 6.36 to 7.17. Rates are found to
be a strong function of aqueous carbonate concentrations at far-from-equilibrium
conditions. Measured rates can be described using the dissolution
mechanism of Pokrovsky and Schott [Pokrovsky, O.S., Schott, J.,
2001. Kinetics and mechanism of dolomite dissolution in neutral
to alkaline solutions revisited. Am.J.Sci., 301, 597-626] where
rates are controlled by the detachment of the >MgOH2+
species at the dolomite surface. Within this mechanism, dolomite
dissolution rates can be described using
r = kMg+ { KCO3*KCa*/(KCO3*KCa*
+KCa*aCO32- + aCO32-aCa2+)
}n(1 - exp(-nA/RT))
where r refers to the overall BET surface area normalized dolomite
dissolution rate at both near and far-from-equilibrium conditions,
kMg+ designates a rate constant
equal to 4.0 ×10-12 mol cm-2 s-1,
KCa* and KCO3* denote equilibrium constants equal
to 3.5 ×10-5 and 4.5 ×10-5, respectively,
ai refers to the activity of the subscripted
aqueous species, A corresponds to the chemical affinity of the
dissolving dolomite, R represents the gas constant, T symbolizes
absolute temperature and n designates a stoichiometric coefficient
equal to 1.9.
