Biogenic Nanoparticles of Calcium Carbonate - Preparation and Behaviour

Article Preview

Abstract:

Calcium carbonate is one of the most widespread natural material. Biogenic calcium carbonate nanoparticles are biocompatible. Currently, they are of great interest for their possible applications, especially in medicine. The aim of this introductory experimental study is to present a simple preparation of biogenic nanoparticles of calcium carbonate from natural resources with a subsequent specific behaviour of nanoparticles in aquatic environment. Different type of shells were used for the preparation of nanoparticles. All structures were burned at 850°C and then grounded to powder. The obtained powders were left in normal laboratory environment for 2 weeks and then placed in beakers with distilled water. Subsequently, two homogenization routes were used - stirring at 1000 rpm for 5 minutes and ultrasonic stirring for 5 minutes. One part of the particles was separated at the bottom of the beaker, but small formations started to create a fractal structure on the surface of water. These formations gradually increased. Crystalline interconnected structures built up with nanoparticles were confirmed by a subsequent analysis by a scanning electron microscope. EDX analysis confirmed the presence of calcium carbonate.
