Abstract
Results are presented for the coprecipitation of inorganic phosphate on calcite and interpreted using a chemical model. The model is used to elucidate why three different chalk waters (two natural and one artificial) coprecipitated different surface densities of phosphorus under similar conditions. Inhibitors of calcite growth such as magnesium and iron have a substantial effect on the amount of phosphorus coprecipitated on calcite, whereas a humic acid material had very little effect. The complete inhibition of calcite growth by inorganic phosphate is also demonstrated.
