Title: The apparent activation energy and pre-exponential kinetic factor for heterogeneous calcium carbonate nucleation on quartz

Abstract

Abstract Nucleation occurs widely in materials synthesis and natural environments. However, in the nucleation rate equation, values for the apparent activation energy ( E _a ) and the pre-exponential kinetic factor ( A ) are thus far unknown because real-time nanoscale observations are difficult to perform. Here we experimentally determine E _a and A using heterogeneous calcium carbonate nucleation on quartz as a model system. Nucleation rates are measured with in situ grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering and ex situ atomic force microscopy, and the experiments are conducted with a fixed supersaturation of IAP/ K _sp (calc) = 10 ^1.65 at 12, 25, and 31 °C. E _a is calculated as 45 ± 7 kJ mol ⁻¹ , and A is 10 ^{12.0 ± 1.1} nuclei μm ⁻² min ⁻¹ , or 10 ^{2.9 ± 1.3} mol m ⁻² min ⁻¹ . Increasing the temperature shortens the induction time, but does not change nucleus sizes. These parameter values are critical for predicting and controlling the nucleation of materials.

Salinity-Induced Reduction of Interfacial Energies and Kinetic Factors during Calcium Carbonate Nucleation on Quartz

Journal Article Li, Qingyun ; Jun, Young-Shin - Journal of Physical Chemistry. C

Nucleation is a vital nanoscale process during the formation of new phases. This study employs CaCO₃ nucleation on quartz as an example system and investigates the effects of salinity on thermodynamic and kinetic factors in CaCO₃ nucleation. In situ grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering was used to obtain the nucleation rates of CaCO₃ at different supersaturations (IAP/K_sp(calcite) = 10^1.40 to 10^2.00) and NaCl-adjusted ionic strengths (i.e., salinities). From a salinity value of 0.15 to 0.85 M, the effective interfacial energy (α) dropped from 48 to 35 mJ/m² because of the decrease in water–CaCO₃ and CaCO₃–quartz interfacial energies, and the kineticmore »« less

Interfacial and Activation Energies of Environmentally Abundant Heterogeneously Nucleated Iron(III) (Hydr)oxide on Quartz

Journal Article Wu, Xuanhao ; Lee, Byeongdu ; Jun, Young-Shin - Environmental Science and Technology

Poorly crystalline iron(III) (hydr)oxide nanoparticles are ubiquitous in environmental systems and play a crucial role in controlling the fate and transport of contaminants. Yet, the thermodynamic and kinetic parameters, e.g., the effective interfacial (α^') and apparent activation (E_a) energies, of iron(III) (hydr)oxide nucleation on earth-abundant mineral surfaces have not been determined, which hinders an accurate prediction of iron(III) (hydr)oxide formation and its interactions with other toxic or reactive ions. Here, for the first time, we report experimentally obtained α^' and E_a for iron(III) (hydr)oxide nucleation on quartz mineral surfaces, by employing a flow-through, time-resolved grazing incidence small angle X-ray scatteringmore »« less

In Situ Determination of Interfacial Energies between Heterogeneously Nucleated CaCO ₃ and Quartz Substrates: Thermodynamics of CO ₂ Mineral Trapping

Journal Article Fernandez-Martinez, Alejandro ; Hu, Yandi ; Lee, Byeongdu ; ... - Environmental Science and Technology

The precipitation of carbonate minerals—mineral trapping—is considered one of the safest sequestration mechanisms ensuring long-term geologic storage of CO{sub 2}. However, little is known about the thermodynamic factors controlling the extent of heterogeneous nucleation at mineral surfaces exposed to the fluids in porous reservoirs. The goal of this study is to determine the thermodynamic factors controlling heterogeneous nucleation of carbonate minerals on pristine quartz (100) surfaces, which are assumed representative of sandstone reservoirs. To probe CaCO{sub 3} nucleation on quartz (100) in solution and with nanoscale resolution, an in situ grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering technique has been utilized. Withmore »« less

Organic–mineral interfacial chemistry drives heterogeneous nucleation of Sr-rich (Ba_x,Sr_1-x )SO₄ from undersaturated solution

Journal Article Deng, Ning ; Stack, Andrew G. ; Weber, Juliane ; ... - Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America

Sr-bearing marine barite [(Ba_x, Sr_1-x)SO₄] cycling has been widely used to reconstruct geochemical evolutions of paleoenvironments. However, an understanding of barite precipitation in the ocean, which is globally undersaturated with respect to barite, is missing. Moreover, the reason for the occurrence of higher Sr content in marine barites than expected for classical crystal growth processes remains unknown. Field data analyses suggested that organic molecules may regulate the formation and composition of marine barites; however, the specific organic–mineral interactions are unclear. Using in situ grazing incidence small-angle X-ray scattering (GISAXS), size and total volume evolutions of barite precipitates on organic filmsmore »« less
