A bicarbonate-rich liquid condensed phase in non-saturated solutions in the absence of divalent cations

Bicarbonate (HCO3−) and sodium (Na+)-containing solutions contain droplets of a separate, bicarbonate-rich liquid condensed phase (LCP) that have higher concentrations of HCO3− relative to the bulk solution in which they reside. The existence and composition of the LCP droplets has been investigated...
