Feasible calcium carbonate polymorphs synthesis from natural corallines and their potential gelling role in hydraulic fracturing application

Abstract

Hydraulic fracturing fluids are significantly important for petroleum and related industrial areas in the preceding and forth-coming eras. In this work, we have feasibly synthesized the calcium carbonate polymorphs from the natural coralline limestones through a chemical precipitation process. The apparent physical morphology of the structure revealed the co-existence of the aragonite, vaterite
