Abstrakt: Two anti-dissolution mechanisms of aragonite in acidified artificial seawater were investigated by monitoring the dissolution process in the presence of organic and inorganic additives. Among them, the carboxyl functional group (RCOO) in PAA bonds with Ca2+ and bicarbonate, while strong protonation of silicates directly binds to hydrogen ions from bicarbonate. These interactions ultimately form stable polymer-rich amorphous calcium carbonate and dense silica layers on the surface of aragonite, effectively inhibiting further dissolution under dissolved CO2.
