CaCO₃ Nanopowder Production by Co-Precipitation of Aerosols of Precursor Solutions of Na₂CO₃ and CaCl₂

Abstract:

Submicron-sized calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) particles were prepared using an aerosol method in which two commercial air humidifiers containing 0.05 M of Na₂CO₃ and CaCl₂ aqueous solutions were utilized as aerosol suppliers. Two streams of aerosols evaporated from the separate humidifiers were allowed to meet in 17-meter long, spiral reaction tube where collisions between two types of droplets containing precursor reagents leaded to grow of CaCO₃ particles and precipitate onto the inner walls. XRD and SEM analysis revealed that CaCO₃ particles were formed in calcite phase almost entirely.
