Stearic acid and albumin dissolved in distilled water, as well as lipoid and amino acid-containing substances dissolved in seawater, interact with carbonate mineral surfaces. In seawater, these compounds represent 14 per cent of the total dissolved organic carbon which is removed from solution by adsorption processes onto carbonate minerals. The mineral surfaces are saturated with organic carbon after adsorbing 0.1 mg-1.5 mg C/m 2 , which is the amount of organic matter needed to form a monomolecular layer. Calcite selectively adsorbs 30-75 per cent of the initial concentrations of lipoid material, phospholipids, and amino acid-containing substances. Organo-carbonate associations in seawater appear to reduce reaction rates of inorganic carbonate equilibria and may inhibit reaction entirely if isolation of the mineral by organo-carbonate associations is complete.
