Effect of pH and Type of Stirring on the Spontaneous Precipitation of CaCO<sub>3</sub> at Identical Initial Supersaturation, Ionic Strength and <i>a</i>(Ca<sup>2+</sup>)/<i>a</i>(CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2−</sup>) Ratio

Effect of pH and Type of Stirring on the Spontaneous Precipitation of CaCO<sub>3</sub> at Identical Initial Supersaturation, Ionic Strength and <i>a</i>(Ca<sup>2+</sup>)/<i>a</i>(CO<sub>3</sub><sup>2−</sup>) Ratio

CaCO<sub>3</sub> precipitation is physical-chemical basis of biomineral formation of hard tissue (shells, skeletons) in marine calcifying organisms (=biomineralization). Processes controlling biomineralization are still not fully clarified, so the study of influence of pH on basic proces...
