Abstract:

Porous calcium carbonate microspheres with aragonite crystal form were prepared by simple double decomposition reaction,using calcium chloride and sodium carbonate as synthetic reagents and soluble starch(SS) as crystallization con-troller.Through the single-factor experiment,effects of the adding amount of soluble starch,the dropping speed of sodium carbonate solution,and the amount-of-substance ratio of calcium chloride to sodium carbonate on calcium carbonate morphology and crystal form were investigated.The crystal form and morphology were characterized by X-ray diffractometer(XRD) and scanning electron microscope(SEM).The results showed that when the adding amount of SS was 0.5 g,the dropping speed was 1.5 mL/min,and the amount-of-substance ratio of calcium chloride to sodium carbonate was 1∶1,porous vaterite calcium carbonate with partical size of 4~5 μm could be prepared.

Key words: calcium carbonate, vaterite, calcium chloride, sodium carbonate, crystallization controller
