Dissolution and carbonation of portlandite [Ca(OH)2] single crystals

The dissolution and carbonation of portlandite (Ca(OH)2) single crystals was studied by a combination of in situ Atomic Force Microscopy, Scanning Electron Microscopy, and two-dimensional X-ray diffraction. The dissolution of portlandite {0001} surfaces in water proceeds by the formation and expansi...
