Abstract
Nano-precipitated calcium carbonate (NPCC) exhibits multiple morphologies and unique properties to satisfy various requirements in industry. In this study, monodisperse and cubic NPCC were prepared by a solution mixing method using NaOH, Na2CO3, and CaCl2 as raw materials. The morphology of CaCO3 was controlled by the amount of NaOH in the precipitation process. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscope (SEM) were employed for characterizations of CaCO3. The formation and the subsequent fission of nanofibril-like CaCO3 played an important role in the stages of NPCC preparation. The effects of pH, Ca2+, and Mg2+ concentration on the fission process were studied. The results indicate that the low pH, low Ca2+, and Mg2+ ions concentrations are beneficial to the fission of nanofibril-like CaCO3, and the correlation mechanism is proposed.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
