The effect of temperature on stoichiometry, cation ordering, and reaction rate in high-temperature dolomitization experiments

Natural dolomites exhibit a wide range of compositional and structural characteristics with respect to the amount and positions of calcium and magnesium cations within the crystal lattice. The physicochemical factors that regulate these characteristics are, however, poorly understood. Hundreds of high-temperature dolomitization experiments were conducted to specifically evaluate and quantify the effects of reaction temperature on dolomite...
