carbonate /car·bon·ate/ (kahr´bah-nāt) a salt of carbonic acid.
carbonate (CO3 2-) [kär′bənāt] a CO3 2- anion. Carbonates are in equilibrium with bicarbonates in water and frequently occur in compounds as insoluble salts, such as calcium carbonate. carbonate, n a mineral salt of carbonic acid. carbonate hydroxyapatite n the composition and crystal structure of hard tissues. carbonate a salt of carbonic acid. carbonate calculi see carbonate urolith.

Carbonic anhydrase catalyzes carbonate ion formation from carbon dioxide in solution in seawater and its activity has long been linked with shell formation (Wilbur & Jodrey, 1956, Freeman 1960, Medakovic & Lucu 1994, Medakovic 2000). Though the nickel catalyst that these systems use are less expensive than others, the fuel cells require additional carbon dioxide to replenish the carbonate ions that are used up in the reactions. The carbonate ions can combine with calcium ions to form calcium carbonate or can act as a buffer that maintains the substrate surface at an alkaline pH. |
