Abstract

In this study, the CaCO3 powder has been successfully synthesized by mixing CaCl2 from natural limestone and Na2CO3 in the same molar ratio. The mixing process of solutions was carried out by employing the molar contents of 0.125, 0.25, 0.375 and 0.5M at varying temperatures of 30, 40, 60 and 80°C. The produced CaCO3 microparticles were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The highest content of aragonite phase with morphology rod-like of the samples is around 29 wt%, resulting from the process using solution of 0.125 M at 80°C. While at 30°C and 40°C produced 100 wt% calcite phases.
