Abstract:

The calcium carbonate was prepared by double decomposition method.The crystal structure and surface properties of calcium carbonate were controlled by the addition of tetradecanoic acid.The effects on the crystal structure of calcium carbonate were studied by SEM,XRD,FT-IR,TG and XPS after the addition of tetradecanoic acid.Results showed that the crystal structure of calcium carbonate changed from vaterite to calcite after the addition of tetradecanoic acid,and the morphology changed from spherical to irregular cubic shape;the surface of calcium carbonate were wholly activated and hydrophobic,which reduced the degree of agglomeration of calcium carbonate.The interaction between tetradecanoic acid anion and calcium ion form a covalent binding which improves the stability of calcium carbonate particles.In conclusion,the addition of tetradecanoic acid can provide a method for crystal structure and surface modification of calcium carbonate.

Key words: calcium carbonate, tetradecanoic acid, crystal structure
