1. A carbonate enhancing composition comprising:
a solubility enhancing aqueous composition comprising an anionic component consisting essentially of sulfate ions, alone or in combination with bisulfate ions, having a concentration from about 8.00 moles per liter to about 13.00 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume; a cationic component consisting essentially of ammonium ions having a concentration from about 1.45 moles per liter to about 2.01 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume; and hydrogen ions in a concentration from about 17.38 mols per liter to about 21.68 moles per liter of the solubility enhancing aqueous composition volume;
sodium hydroxide solution having a concentration of about 5% to about 7.5% volume/volume of the total aqueous phase volume of the carbonate enhancing composition; and
a sulfate selected from the group consisting of copper sulfate, silver sulfate and combinations thereof having a concentration from about 20 percent to about 26 percent mass/volume of the total aqueous phase volume of the carbonate enhancing composition.
