An atomic force microscopy study of the dissolution of calcite in the presence of phosphate ions

Dissolution of calcite in the presence of phosphate solutions was studied in situ by Atomic Force Microscopy. Results of experiments in slightly alkaline (NH4)2HPO4 solutions showed that dissolution, measured from etch pit spreading, is significantly reduced compared to that observed in pure deioniz...
