Carbonate minerals and their relative stability Calcite, crystallizing in the rhombohedral crystal system is the thermodynamically stable phase of calcium carbonate. Aragonite, calcite''s orthorhombic polymorph, is about 1.5 times more soluble than calcite. Magnesian calcite is an important sub-group of carbonates that occurs as skeletal components and marine cements. …
Soil fertility depletion is emerging as a serious challenge causing low crop yields and food insecurity in Ethiopia. An on-farm experiment was conducted in 2017/ cropping season to investigate the effects of combined application of compost and mineral fertilizer on selected soil properties and maize yield in Northwestern Ethiopia.
ABSTRACT: Limestones are one of the most important of all the sedimentary rocks. Limestones are composed mostly of the mineral calcite (CaCO3). They may also contain some other carbonates minerals and several non-carbonate impurities. Limestones are the raw materials widely used by throughout industry, although the limestone is the first raw materials for cement …
