I'd be very careful about adding CaCO3 to 0.1M nitric acid, the reaction is
strongly exothermic. I'd cut the concentration and volume by 10 - 100x for
starters, wear safety glasses and conduct

It's a long time since I did anything in this field, so this is some ad

Soil PCO2 is much higher than in the atmosphere. An old paper on this is ...

Phosphate ions are known to have a strong affinity for the reactive
sites of calcite and inhibit the dissolution (BERNER MORSE, 1974;

Hi Greg,
Two comments here:
Limestone dissolution can be a very slow reaction, even in CaCO3-
undersaturated
upwelling seawaters. (Much slower than the rate of limestone
dissolution in normal
this time. No?

Greg

Somebody should do a preliminary cost analysis comparing the cost and
effectiveness (and uncertainty therein) for all of these proposals, as a
function of setting, discount rate, etc.
These options are not alternatives but complements. Doing more of one does
not preclude doing more of another.
There is a delay if air capture is the objective - limestone dissolution
takes place in the subsurface waters and alkalinity is generated, which can
effect air capture only when upwelling finally brings it in contact with
air. Gas diffusion rate and CO2 dissolution rate will then also affect the
As Greg Rau and I pointed out more than a decade ago, rather than kilning,
power plant flue gases can be used to dissolve carbonate minerals in
seawater. If it is placed in seawater dilutely, the time scale for
reprecipitation of these minerals should be thousands of years.

This appears to be one of many ideas to mineralise CO2 using Mg
silicate rock using an industrial reaction process. The question has
to be, is this necessary or cost effective
