An entirely novel preparation method of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) from calcium hydrogen carbonate (Ca (HCO3)2) solution was presented and named as thermal decomposition. The variation of the polymorphs and morphologies of CaCO3 particles with reaction temperature was investigated. XRD result indicates that high temperature favors the formation of calcite. Cubic or rhombohedra calcite crystals, lamellar and spherical vaterite crystals and rod– and needle–like aragonite crystals are found in powder synthesized at different temperatures. The reaction process was also discussed in the present work.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
