a Solubility products of different polymorphs of calcium carbonate at different temperature [21]. b Gibbs free energy of nucleation as a function of radius of spherical nucleus (Assume that the molecular volume (v) = 5 × 10–29 m3, interfacial energy of cluster-water (γCW) = 0.5 J m.−2, and that heterogeneous nucleation reduces surface energy by 40%). c Dissolution rate of Ca-rich and Mg-rich silicate minerals [24, 25]
