RT Journal Article T1 Cd2+ en calcita: Cristalización de la solución sólida (Cd,Ca)C03 T1 Ccl2+ in calcite: crysstalliztion of the (Cd, Ca)C03 solid solution A1 Fernández González, A. A1 Prieto, M. A1 López Andrés, S. A1 Putnis, A. AB The complete series of the otavite-calcite solid has been synthesized by counter diffusion of CdCI2+CaCI2 and CaC03 through a column of silica hydrogel. In this system there is a strong preferential partitioning of Cd in the solid phase, and only a very narrow range of aqueous phase compositions can coexist in equilibrium with intermediate solid solutions, i.e., the (Cd, Ca)C03 solid solution tend to crystallize from aqueous solutions in a bimodal way. At high supersaturations, the range of aqueous solutions from which intermediate solid solutions can nucleate expands, but the bimodal effect remains.This bimodal behaviour accounts for the development of high gradient compositional zoning and oscillatory zoning during the growth process PB Sociedad Geológica de España YR 1996 FD 1996 LK http://hdl.handle.net/10272/12951 UL http://hdl.handle.net/10272/12951 LA spa DS Repositorio Institucional de la Universidad de Huelva RD 31 may 2026
