Testing the cation-hydration effect on the crystallization of Ca–Mg–CO 3 systems
Open accessAbstract
Significance: Magnesium-bearing carbonate minerals play critical roles in the health and function of the Earth system because they constitute a significant fraction of lithosphere carbon reservoir and build skeletal structures for the majority of marine invertebrate organisms. Despite wide occurrence, high-Mg and sole-Mg phases such as dolomite ([Ca,Mg]CO 3 ) and magnesite (MgCO 3 ) prove virtually impossible to be crystallized under ambient conditions. It has long been believed that Mg 2+ hydration is the cause for such a geological mystery. Here, we probe this hypothesis by investigating Ca–Mg–CO 3 precipitation in the absence of water and find direct proof suggesting the existence of a more intrinsic crystallization barrier. These findings provide a perspective augmenting our understanding in carbonate mineralogy, biomineralization, and mineral-carbonation processes.

The dehydration of the Mg-water complex is considered the most critical barrier for dolomite nucleation and growth.
“Therefore, the dehydration of the Mg–water complex is considered the most critical barrier for dolomite nucleation and growth.21,27,32”

The Aqueous-phase reactions section describes Mg hydration as a long-standing explanation for difficulty forming dolomite, but the paper tests that explanation rather than endorsing it as the most critical barrier. The Conclusion (page not available) reports a fundamental barrier other than cation hydration that prevents ordered Mg-carbonate structures from forming, while acknowledging a hydration effect.

The Results and Discussion report producing anhydrous amorphous magnesium carbonate. The paper says the experiments used dry formamide, described in the introduction as a hydrogen-bonding organic solvent (O=CH–NH₂); it does not support describing the solvent as aprotic. (LLM, conf=0.87)
Experimental — accuracy not yet measuredThe hydration problem is not the only limiting factor in inhibiting dolomite growth in a low-temperature environment; other factors are lattice limitation, difference in cation properties, and reduced surface energy from cation disordering.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
