Solubility and dissolution kinetics of dolomite in Ca-Mg-HCO3/CO3 solutions at 25 degrees C and 0.1 MPa carbon dioxide

Dolomite solubility in water has been measured by a number of different methods during the past several decades, yielding inconsistent and unreliable results that vary more than three orders of magnitude. The most commonly used best value for dolomite solubility in water is based on HCI solution calorimetry at 300.15K, which is not confirmed by earlier determinations based on heat capacity of dolomite nor by more recent acid solution and metal oxide melt calorimetric measurements.
