In fact, filtering and boiling tap water containing calcium carbonate could help remove almost 90 percent of the plastics, a press release from the American Chemical Society (ACS) said.

A research team has shown that methanogens, micro-organisms ubiquitous in low-oxygen environments like aquifers, soil and even permafrost, can propel their growth by dissolving calcium carbonate, one ...

Among the myriad creatures that populate our ocean, some stand out as having an outsized impact on the marine environment—shaping and maintaining habitats that themselves sustain countless other forms ...

Calcite is the most stable and the least soluble, and, therefore, the form in which calcium carbonate would be expected to precipitate from sea-water. It has been pointed out, however, that when ...

Hard and soft water are different because of the minerals they contain. Hard water has more calcium and magnesium. These water minerals can cause limescale, which clogs pipes and damages machines like ...

To test this, the researchers began with samples of “hard” tap water, which has a high concentration of minerals such as ...

A University of Nebraska-Lincoln research team has identified new microscopic players in the global carbon cycle, a discovery ...

Sodium carbonate, Na 2 CO 3 ... sodium ions come off the resin and go into the water, while calcium ions come out of the water and stick to the resin. In effect, calcium ions that cause hardness ...

Their novel electrochemical process can store carbon dioxide in water with the power of solar or wind, while also producing by-products such as green hydrogen and calcium carbonate – perhaps the ...
