Optimization of Calcium Carbonate Precipitation for Bacillus pasteurii

Article Preview

Abstract:

The effects of temperature, pH, precipitation time, reactant concentration, the crystal formation additive on the yield of calcium carbonate precipitation induced by bacillus pasteurii were investigated through orthogonal test. The morphology and structure of the calcium carbonate were characterized by scanning electron microscopic (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (IR) and powder X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that the optimum conditions of calcium carbonate precipitation induced by bacillus pasteurii were temperature of 40oC, pH of 8, precipitation time of 3 d, Ca2+ of 1.5 mol/L, and Mg2+ of 0.05 mol/L. The crystal of calcium carbonate was calcites or mixture of calcites and vaterite. Its morphology and packing density were changed by different external conditions.
