Abstract
First ever report on the applications of calcium carbonate nanoparticles and microwave irradiation in fumaric acid production and recovery, respectively.
Highlights
Fumaric acid (FA) [IUPAC ID: (E)-butenedioic acid] is an organic acid with diverse applications in the eld of food, resin and dairy industries.[1,2,3] Because of the non-hygroscopic and nontoxic properties and higher buffering capacity than other food acids, FA is preferably used as an acidulant and nutritive additive in the food industry.[2]
Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) analysis of calcium carbonate nanoparticles (CCNPs) sample showed the three distinctive infrared transmission bands corresponding to their chemical composition
The speci c surface areas measured for calcium carbonate microparticles (CCMPs) and CCNPs were 3.51 Æ 0.02 m2 gÀ1 and 11.95 Æ 0.03 m2 gÀ1 respectively
