Coupled dissolution and precipitation at the cerussite-phosphate solution interface: Implications for immobilization of lead in soils

In situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) has been used to study the interaction of phosphate-bearing solutions with cerussite, PbCO3, (010) surfaces. During the dissolution of cerussite we observed simultaneous growth of needle-shaped or spherical pyromorphite phases. This occurred at two different pH...
