Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volume 11 of Reviews in Mineralogy attempts to synthesize our present understanding of certain aspects of the mineralogy and chemistry of the rock-forming carbonates. This review follows, by ten years, a major assessment of (sedimentary) carbonate minerals by Lippmann (1973). There is only minor overlap of subject material, and I hope that this difference reflects fairly how this field has developed. In this volume, some of the papers are general (i.e., those addressing crystal chemistry and phase relations), and they provide overviews of a fundamental nature and are of interest to many. Others are more specialized in coverage and generally reflect the different approaches used in carbonate geochemistry. The final chapter introduces transmission electron microscopy, a relatively new and powerful technique for mineralogical research that has great potential in carbonate research.

Book Calcite Dissolution Kinetics at the Sediment water Interface in an Acidifying Ocean

Download or read book Calcite Dissolution Kinetics at the Sediment water Interface in an Acidifying Ocean written by Olivier Sulpis and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Carbon dioxide (CO2), produced and released to the atmosphere by human activities, has been accumulating in the oceans for approximately two centuries and will continue to do so well beyond the end of this century if emissions are not curbed. One direct consequence of CO2 build-up in the atmosphere and its transfer to the ocean is the acidification of seawater. Calcite, a mineral secreted by many organisms living in the surface ocean to produce their shells and skeletons, covers a large part of the seafloor and acts as a natural anti-acid, neutralizing CO2. Thus, a precise knowledge of the kinetics of this dissolution reaction is necessary to predict the ocean recovery time towards its pre-acidification state once anthropogenic CO2 emissions are curbed. This thesis combines laboratory experiments, oceanographic measurements and model outputs to explore and unravel the mechanisms that control calcite dissolution at the sediment-water interface (SWI) on the seafloor in the context of current anthropogenic ocean acidification. Using a newly developed temperature-controlled rotating-disk reactor, as well as a stirred reactor, we were able to measure the rate of dissolution of simulated and natural sediment disks of variable calcite content under environmental and hydrodynamic conditions representative of deep-sea benthic environments. These experiments revealed that, in contrast to the reigning paradigm that calcite dissolution kinetics in seawater is surface reaction-controlled and of high order, calcite dissolution at the SWI and under deep-sea conditions is linearly dependent on the undersaturation state of the overlying seawater with respect to calcite and controlled by the presence of a diffusive-boundary layer (DBL) above the sediment bed. Therefore, irrespective of the mineralogy and sediment properties, the dissolution rate is simply a function of the saturation state of the overlying seawater with respect to calcite, the calcite content of the sediment, and hydrodynamics at the seafloor. From these observations, using a compilation of seawater chemical variables in the global ocean, corresponding sediment calcite content and rain rates, as well as recently modeled bottom current velocities, we have been able to identify the loci of current anthropogenic calcite dissolution and its rate. We found that significant anthropogenic dissolution of calcite at the seafloor currently occurs in the western North Atlantic, where the bottom waters are youngest, and at various hot spots in the southern Atlantic, Indian and Pacific Oceans. Using model projections for the 21st century, under a “business as usual” scenario, we found that while seawater will become more corrosive to this mineral, calcite dissolution at the seafloor will decrease in intensity because bottom currents will slow down and the amount of calcite particles delivered to the seafloor will diminish. These results indicate that the neutralization of human-made CO2 by calcite dissolution at the seafloor may take longer than previously thought. These findings are of critical interest to the scientific community and the public, as these results have far reaching implications for ocean acidification mitigation, to the fate of benthic communities living under increasing environmental stress, and to geologists contemplating both present and past records of ocean acidification"--

Book Calcite Dissolution Kinetics and Solubility in Na Ca Mg Cl Brines of Geologically Relevant Composition at 0 1 to 1 Bar PCO2 and 25 to 80  C

Download or read book Calcite Dissolution Kinetics and Solubility in Na Ca Mg Cl Brines of Geologically Relevant Composition at 0 1 to 1 Bar PCO2 and 25 to 80 C written by Dwight Kuehl Gledhill and published by . This book was released on 2006 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Sedimentary basins can contain close to 20% by volume pore fluids that are commonly classified as brines. These fluids can become undersaturated with respect to calcite as a result of processes such as migration, dispersive mixing, or anthropogenic injection of CO2. This study measured calcite solubility and dissolution rates in geologically relevant Na-Ca-Mg-Cl synthetic brines (35 to 200 g L−1 TDS). In brines 50 g L−1 TDS, the EQPITZER calculated calcium carbonate ion activity product (IAP) at steady-state was in reasonable agreement ("10%) with the thermodynamic solubility constant for calcite (K[subscript]c). However, the IAP systematically exceeded K[subscript]c in more concentrated brines. The deviation was strongly correlated with calcium concentration and also was observed in magnesium-free solutions. This is interpreted as an uncertainty in the carbonate ion activity coefficient, and minor adjustment in stoichiometric association constants (K*[subscript]M2+CO0[over]3) for the CaCO0[over]3 or MgCo0[over]3 ion pairs would correct for the error. The dissolution rate dependency on brine composition, pCO2 (0.1 to 1 bar), and temperature (25.0 to 82.5 °C) was modeled using the empirical rate equation R = k(1-[omega]0 [superscript]n where R is the rate, k and n are empirical fitting terms, and [omega] the degree of disequilibrium with respect to calcite. When [omega] was defined relative to an apparent kinetic solubility, n could be assumed first-order over the range of [omega] investigated ([omega] = 0.2 to 1.0). Rates increased with increasing pCO2 as did the sensitivity to brine concentration. At 0.1 bar, rates were nearly independent of concentration (k = 13.0 "2.0 x 10−3 moles m−1 hr−1). However, at higher CO2 partial pressures rates became composition dependent and the rate constant, k, was shown to be a function of temperature, pCO2, ionic strength, and calcium and magnesium activity. The rate constant (k) can be estimated from a multiple regression (MR) model of the form [unable to replicate formula]. A relatively high activation energy (E[subscript]a = 20 kJ mol−1) was measured, along with a stirring rate independence suggesting the dissolution is dominated by surface controlled processes at saturation states [omega] 0.2 in these calcium-rich brines. These findings offer important implications to reaction-transport models in carbonate-bearing saline reservoirs.

  • Publisher : John Wiley & Sons
  • Release : 2013-01-22
  • ISBN : 1118485270
  • Pages : 1218 pages

Download or read book Geochemistry written by William M. White and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2013-01-22 with total page 1218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a comprehensive introduction to the field of geochemistry. The book first lays out the ‘geochemical toolbox’: the basic principles and techniques of modern geochemistry, beginning with a review of thermodynamics and kinetics as they apply to the Earth and its environs. These basic concepts are then applied to understanding processes in aqueous systems and the behavior of trace elements in magmatic systems. Subsequent chapters introduce radiogenic and stable isotope geochemistry and illustrate their application to such diverse topics as determining geologic time, ancient climates, and the diets of prehistoric peoples. The focus then broadens to the formation of the solar system, the Earth, and the elements themselves. Then the composition of the Earth itself becomes the topic, examining the composition of the core, the mantle, and the crust and exploring how this structure originated. A final chapter covers organic chemistry, including the origin of fossil fuels and the carbon cycle’s role in controlling Earth’s climate, both in the geologic past and the rapidly changing present. Geochemistry is essential reading for all earth science students, as well as for researchers and applied scientists who require an introduction to the essential theory of geochemistry, and a survey of its applications in the earth and environmental sciences.
