Magnesium (Mg) has an atomic number of 12 and belongs to the alkaline earth element
(Group II) of the Periodic Table. The pure Mg is a silvery white metal and has a melting point …

The biogeochemical cycling of metals in natural systems is often accompanied by stable
isotope fractionation which can now be measured due to recent analytical advances. In …

The dissolution rates of olivine have been considered by a plethora of studies in part due to
its potential to aid in carbon storage and the ease in obtaining pure samples for laboratory …

Calcite growth experiments have been performed in the presence of aqueous Mg at 25° C
and 1bar pCO2 to quantify magnesium partition coefficient DMg=(Mg/Ca) solid (Mg/Ca) fluid …

Land to ocean transfer of material largely controls the chemical composition of seawater and
the global element cycles. Overall this transfer is dominated by the riverine transport of …

The growth and morphology of stromatolites have been previously linked to diverse
microbial activities. However, the role of microbial metabolisms on carbonate formation …

Hydrated Mg-carbonate minerals form during the weathering of ultramafic rocks, and can be
used to store atmospheric CO 2 to help combat greenhouse gas-fueled climate change …

Dolomite precipitation models and kinetics are debated and complicated due to the complex
and temporally fluctuating fluid chemistry and different diagenetic environments. Using well …

Zinc was co-precipitated with calcite in mixed-flow reactors at 25° C and 6.1≤ pH≤ 8.5 to
quantify Zn isotope fractionation between calcite and the reactive fluid. The results suggest …

Abstract Hydromagnesite Mg 5 (CO 3) 4 (OH) 2· 4H 2 O is the most widespread form of
hydrated Mg-carbonate minerals. To better understand the factors controlling the …
