Abstract:

Increasing the added value of products is of great significance for improving the economy of CO2 mineralization process.In the indirect mineralization process of calcium sulfate dihydrate and ammonium carbonate solution,cetyltrimethy-lammonium bromide(CTAB) was used as the crystal regulator to obtain calcium carbonate composed of vaterite crystal form. The effects of reaction time,reaction temperature and the dosage of CTAB on the crystal and morphology of calcium carbonate were studied systematically.The crystal and morphology were characterized by XRD,SEM and FT-IR.The results showed that the reaction process begined with the formation of metastable phase vaterite which continued to convert to calcite with the highest thermodynamic stability.The addition of CTAB can significantly enhance the stability of vaterite; lower temperature was beneficial to form vaterite;when the reaction temperature was 30 ℃,CaSO4·2H2O solid powder and(NH42CO3 solution were both 0.01 mol/L and CTAB was 0.54 mmol/L,the proportion of vaterite in the product was higher than 80%.The adsorption of CTAB on the product surface reduced the surface energy and inhibited the conversion of vaterite to calcite.

Key words: CaSO4·2H2O, (NH42CO3, CTAB, calcium carbonate
