Microfluidic measurement of the dissolution rate of gypsum in water using the reactive infiltration-instability

We present an original method for measuring the intrinsic dissolution rate of gypsum. We use a simple microfluidic setup, with a gypsum block inserted between two polycarbonate plates, which is dissolved by water. By changing the flow rate and the distance between the plates, we can scan a wide rang...
