Abstract

CaCO3 particles derived from limestone are obtained from quarry in Tuwiri Wetan, Tuban, East Java and have been produced by calcination at temperature of 850°C for 6 hours and by dissolving into water for 24 hours to result in a precipitate at the bottom and a layer floating on the top of the lime solution. Characterization of the as received limestone with XRF and ICP showed a very high purity. Further characterization of secondary precipitatin using XRD showed the presence of CaCO3 (calcite) as much as 35% and Ca(OH)2 (calcium hydroxide) 65%, while the secondary layer contained pure CaCO3 (calcite). Analysis using SEM has revealed the presence cubic shape CaCO3 particles.
