Abstract

Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) is abundant in nature, and is also an important material applied in industry as pigment, filler material, etc. It is a challenge to control the desired CaCO3 properties for industry applications. In this study, three typical morphologies of CaCO3, calcite, aragonite and vaterite were prepared. The crystallization temperature and addition of acrylic-acrylate-sulfosalt copolymer play a significant effect on the polymorph change of CaCO3 sediment. Higher temperature promoted the formation of aragonite, while more additives tended to form the vaterite. The x-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope analysis confirmed the formation of CaCO3 with various polymorphs.
