Calcium carbonate For Industrial Chemical- Paper Industry: Improves brightness and opacity of paper.
- Paints and Coatings: Acts as a pigment extender and improves viscosity.
- Construction: Used in cement and concrete for strength.
- Pharmaceuticals: Used as a dietary supplement and in antacids.
Chemical Composition and Structure:
Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a chemical compound composed of calcium, carbon, and oxygen. It naturally occurs in various mineral forms, including calcite, aragonite, and vaterite. Calcite is the most stable and common form.
Natural Occurrence: Calcium carbonate is abundant in nature and is found in rocks such as limestone and marble. It is also a major component of marine shells, snails, pearls, and eggshells.
Uses and Applications:- Industrial: Widely used in the construction industry as a building material (marble) and as an ingredient in cement.
- Agricultural: Used to neutralize acidic soil (agricultural lime).
- Food and Pharmaceuticals: Acts as a calcium supplement and as an antacid to relieve heartburn and indigestion.
- Paper and Plastics: Used as a filler to improve the properties and reduce the cost of products.
Chemical Reactions and Environmental Impact:
- Reaction with Acids: Reacts with acids to produce carbon dioxide, water, and a dissolved calcium salt. For example, with hydrochloric acid, it forms calcium chloride, water, and CO₂.
- Carbon Cycle: Plays a significant role in the carbon cycle. The dissolution of calcium carbonate in oceans helps to sequester carbon dioxide, reducing its concentration in the atmosphere and mitigating climate change. However, increased CO₂ levels can lead to ocean acidification, negatively affecting marine life that relies on calcium carbonate for their shells and skeletons.
