Control of the Crystal Morphological Characteristic and Size of Nano-PCC via Turbo-Mixing Reactive Precipitation

Article Preview

Abstract:

An innovative and novel technology method of processing called Turbo-Mixing Reactive Precipitation (TMRP) design proposed as an alternative to this current processing or conventional productions of fine precipitated calcium carbonate (nanoPCC) in turbo-mixing conditions. In this paper, the effect of the stirring rate onto morphology, particle sizes and reaction time of the precipitated CaCO3 particles was discussed. CaCO3 nanoparticles with an average particle size of approximately 15.75 nm were successfully obtained by stirring rotation speed at 900 rpm. The structural analysis was conducted using a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM) and a Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM). The results showed that the increasing of the multiple’s impeller stirring rotation speed is in favor of the formation of the spherical vaterite.
