Abstract

AbstractEffect of etching time and temperature on morphology of etch pits and etch rates in controlled dissolution of calcite by lactic acid it optically investigated in detail. Arrhenius equation is used to determine activation energy which is observed to change with the morphology of etch pits. Further, an attempt is made to understand the mechanism of dissolution by considering Laidler's theory of heterogeneous catalytic reactions.
