Abstract
The synthesis of aragonite precipitated calcium carbonate by treating a suspension of Ca(OH) 2 with CO 2 gas was investigated with regard to the effects of Mg 2+ ions and organic additives on polymorphism and alternative orientations. In the presence of a small amount of Mg 2+, Mg-calcite formed, but as the Mg 2+ ion concentration increased, the amount of Mg-calcite decreased and the amount of aragonite increased. Thus, the formation of Mg-calcite is suppressed and only aragonite is formed in the presence of 60 mol% MgCl 2. As the Mg 2+ ion concentration increased, the aragonite that formed was found to have decreased in terms of its longitude and aspect ratio. Furthermore, the effect of Mg 2+ ions in conjunction with organic additives was also investigated with regard to polymorphs and morphology and the structure-forming properties of the organic additives.
