    Abstract

    Investigations regarding the impact complex solution environments have on calcium carbonate is important in understanding the natural occurrence of its polymorphs. Ionic strength, Na, Mg and sulfate ions were all found to be important and incorporated into the calcium carbonate solids. In addition dissolution studies show that this does not lead to thermodynamic stability and so kinetic factors must be important.
