Abstract

Abstract:

Calcium carbonate with various polymorphs and morphologies was prepared by urea hydrolytic method in this study. The crystals were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analysis. Uniform needle-like aragonite crystals are obtained in aqueous solution at 90 ℃. In contrast, the addition of sodium citrate results in the formation of novel morphologies of calcite crystals. We also studied the growth of calcium carbonate in the mixed solvent of ethanol/water with sodium citrate as control agent. The results show that sodium citrate also has significant influence on polymorphs and morphologies of calcium carbonate in the ethanol/water mixed solution. Hollow spherical vaterite crystals are obtained in the presence of sodium citrate by changing the volume fraction of ethanol.

Key words: calcium carbonate, polymorphs, sodium citrate, ethanol/water mixed solutions, urea
