A Combined Model for Kinetic Clumped Isotope Effects in the CaCO3‐DIC‐H2O System by James M. Watkins, Laurent S. Devriendt

“…The model is used to simulate calcite precipitation experiments in which the fluxes and isotopic compositions of CO2 and CaCO3 were constrained. Using a literature compilation of equilibrium and kinetic fractionation factors, modeled δ18O and Δ47 values of calcite are in good agreement with the experimental data covering a wide range in crystal growth rate and solution pH. …”
