TL;DR: In this paper, a model for the thermal decomposition of calcite was proposed to explain how decarbonation occurs at the atomic scale via a topotactic mechanism, which is independent of the experimental conditions.

TL;DR: In this paper, the mechanism of the transformation of one solid phase to another and the role of fluids is discussed. But the authors focus on the interaction of minerals with CO2-saturated water, the durability of nuclear waste materials, the remediation of polluted water, and mineral reactions that can destroy our stone-based cultural heritage.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors studied the weathering behavior of sodium and magnesium sulfate within a porous limestone using different techniques, including mercury intrusion porosimetry, environmental scanning microscopy and X-ray computed tomography.

TL;DR: In this article, phase and morphology evolution of CaCO3 precipitated during carbonation of lime pastes via the reaction Ca(OH)2+CO2→CaCO3+H2O has been investigated under different conditions.
