Outline of Research at the Start

カルシウム炭酸塩は地球上に普遍的に存在し、炭素循環に関与するとともに、過去の地球環境の変遷を記憶する重要な媒体である。これまでカルシウム炭酸塩として6つの鉱物種が認識されてきたが、これらに加え2019年に7つ目のカルシウム炭酸塩の結晶相が室内合成実験から見出された。第7のカルシウム炭酸塩は実験室では簡単に合成することができるが、自然界における生成は報告されていない。第7のカルシウム炭酸塩が自然界で見過ごされていることは、この物質が関わっている地球科学的プロセスを我々が見落としているからに他ならない。本研究はCCHHを自然界で発見し、その地球惑星科学的意義を解明することを目的とする。

Outline of Final Research Achievements

Six calcium carbonates were previously recognized to occur in nature. A new species, Calcium Carbonate Hemihydrate (CCHH), was discovered in 2019 from laboratory synthesis experiments. In order to find CCHH in nature, this study (1) measured the solubility of CCHH, (2) constrained the possible formation site of CCHH by comparing the solubility with lake water data from around the world, and (3) searched for CCHH in nature. From (1) and (2), we found that the possible formation site of CCHH is alkaline lakes in the interior of continents. Next, we conducted a survey of alkaline lakes in southern Mongolia and were found the possible presence of CCHH in samples that were quickly conducted a solid-liquid separation on site. However, we considered that other mineralogical evidences were needed to support the reliable identification of CCHH.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

カルシウム炭酸塩は地球上の普遍的に存在し、炭素循環において重要な役割を果たす。カルシウム炭酸塩はこれまで、古環境復元・バイオミネラリゼーション・二酸化炭素の地層貯留など、幅広い分野で研究されてきている。本研究ではカルシウム炭酸塩の新種であるCalcium Carbonate Hemihydrate (CCHH)の溶解度を世界で初めて測定し、その結果に基づき、アルカリ塩湖にCCHHが存在する可能性を得た。アルカリ塩湖は大気二酸化炭素の吸収源として機能する可能性を持つことが近年指摘されている。CCHHはアルカリ塩湖における二酸化炭素の固定反応に重要な寄与を果たすことが推測される。
