Calcite is often doped with impurity ions that affect its dissolution behavior. In the present investigation, solid solutions of (Ca, Mn)CO3 and (Ca, Cu)CO3 were synthesized by coprecipitation to study their dissolution in an acidic solution (pH = 5) at 25 °:C. The solution chemical analysis results showed that the concentrations of aqueous Cu2+ and Mn2+ first increased and then decreased with the extension of dissolution time. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) observations revealed that rhodochrosite (MnCO3) and malachite (Cu2(OH)2CO3) formed during the dissolution. This suggested that the impurities in calcite might impact the dissolution and precipitation of carbonates in the environment.
