The Role of Crystal Control Agent in the Formation of Needlelike Calcium Carbonate Nano Particles

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, needlelike precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) nanometer particles were synthesized by industrial carbonation route using EDTA as crystal control agent. The morphological characterization shows that the as-synthesized needlelike PCC particles have an average diameter of 52 nm and an aspect ratio of around 14:1. The results indicate that EDTA plays a crucial role in the formation of needlelike PCC nanometer particles. A possible mechanism for the formation of needlelike PCC particles assisted by the crystal control agent EDTA is also proposed.
