Abstract: Interactions between skeletal carbonates and seawater are influenced by mineralogy, particle size and the history of the particle surfaces. Experiments using pH-sensing techniques indicate that the activity of magnesium calcites can be more than four tunes that of pure calcite. Particles of calcite 10−6 cm in diameter have activities more than 8 times greater than 1 cm particles. Grinding in a mortar produces activities as much as 7 times greater than unground material of the same composition.
