Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) chemically can be synthesized in the laboratory. In this study, hydrated lime or calcium hydroxide was used as raw material with sucrose as additive to produce PCC. The process was compared with the one without additive. PCC produced was observed based on morphology, mineral composition and size by using Fesem-Edx and LPSA, respectively. PCC products without additive demonstrated fine and more uniform size of calcite PCC as compared to the one with additive. Nevertheless, the process with additive produced more PCC product than without additive.

Synthesis of Ca-Fe-O using solution mixing method employing CaCO3 and Fe2O3•H2O has been conducted. Extraction of limestone as the raw material of precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and iron sands as that of Fe2O3•H2O was prepared to explore various compound of C-Fe-O, where the CaFe4O7 phase is mainly expected. The PCC and Fe2O3•H2O each are dissolved in 1 M HNO3 and mixed to be most homogeneous. The results of the synthesis are characterized by DTA/GTA and then sintered at temperatures of 800°C, 900°C and 1000°C.The sintered samples were characterized by XRD, FTIR, and VSM. The sintering temperature at 800°C, 900°C and 1000°C gave result the phase content of CaFe4O7 being respectively 55.42%, 44.55% and 36.39%. Other major phases in the Ca-Fe-O samples consist of Ca2Fe9O13 and Ca4Fe14O25. The remanence value of the corresponding samples is 2.11, 1.28, and 1.74 emu/g respectively.

Paper fillers materials are less expensive than fiber, allowing reduced production costs and improvement of paper properties. A small pilot scale in-situ laboratory calcium carbonate filler precipitation unit was developed and designed with the objective to provide enough pulp fiber containing in-situ precipitated calcium carbonate for a small 12-inch (304 mm) wide laboratory paper machine. The in-situ precipitation system requires the reactants calcium hydroxide and carbon dioxide and was tested with a eucalyptus pulp fiber pulp suspension. The final precipitated in-situ filler content achieved was 38.2%, 55.5% and 66.6% based on initial eucalyptus pulp fiber content. The precipitation time from an initial pH of 12.77, 12.76 and 11.98 to an final pH of 7.29, 7.55, and 7.28 for the 3 kg, 6kg, and 9 kg of calcium hydroxide reactant addition was 45 minutes for the 3 kg and 9 kg calcium hydroxide addition and 40 min. for the 6 kg calcium hydroxide addition.

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is obtained through three processes; that of calcination, hydration, and carbonation. Thus, changes in each process condition determine the particle size or morphology of the mediums (calcium oxide and calcium hydroxide) as well as the product (PCC). To date, studies concerning precipitated calcium carbonate have mainly focused on the carbonation process, aimed at the manufacturing of PCC. Thus far, few studies on calcination or hydration have been conducted. Calcium hydroxide is regarded as the most important factor during the carbonation process. It is obtained through a hydration process. Therefore, in order to create the valuable PCC studies that center on the hydration process should be carried out. The present study seeks to investigate the effect of the hydration condition, particularly the temperature, on the synthesis characteristics of calcium hydroxide and aragonite PCC. The results show that the particle size of calcium hydroxide changes with variations in the initial hydration temperature. In particular, a higher initial temperature resulted in a larger particle size of the calcium hydroxide used in the synthesis. The particle size and yield of aragonite also increased when calcium hydroxide created at high temperatures was used. However, the water/solid ratio or total amount at the hydration time had no effect on the manufacturing process of aragonite.

The precipitated of calcium carbonate has attractedmuch attention because of its numerous applications in various areas of plastics, textiles, rubbers, adhesives, paints and wastewater treatment. Nanosized of precipitated calcium carbonate,(PCC) will enhance the properties and give better performance. Its high purity and close controlled particle size and shape are making it the white filler of choice. Nanosized precipitated calcium carbonate particles were prepared using spraying method. The particles were prepared using three (3) different concentrations of Calcium Hydroxide,Ca (OH)2, three (3) CO2flow rate and three (3) different calcinations temperature. The three (3) concentration of Calcium Hydroxide that been used are 25g/200ml, 25g/ 400ml and 25g/800ml and each of these initial solution sprayed at three (3) different CO2flow rate, 5l/per-minute, 7l/per-minute and 10l/per-minute. Calcium Carbonate, CaCO3powders were then calcined at three (3) different temperature, 1100°C,1200°C and 1300°C. Images from SEM showed morphology of the particles changed to spindle-like or prismatic when the ionic strength of the Calcium Hydroxide, Ca (OH)2was increased.

This paper deals with the question of "workability" of hydrated limes for finishing purposes. The authors subscribe to the "colloid" conception of the mechanism underlying the well known superiority of undried putties over dry hydrates, on the one hand, and of magnesian or dolomitic hydrates over those high in calcium, on the other.A description is given of an investigation made to determine whether an artificial gel could be applied to particles otherwise of poor quality by allowing them to react with aluminium sulphate. It was anticipated that the calcium hydroxide would react to form calcium sulphate and give a precipitate of aluminium hydroxide which, being relatively insoluble in the alkaline medium, would tend to coat the particles of calcium sulphate and residual calcium hydroxide. The effect of additions under different conditions was observed quantitatively by means of a flow-table plasticimeter. Favorable laboratory results were followed by practical trials which successfully demonstrated the usefulness of this treatment.

Paper manufacturing on a global scale is a highly competitive market which requires to constantly improve the manufacturing process to be competitive. To decrease production cost paper manufactures, add filler material prior to sheet forming to replace costly wood fiber based raw material. This research project investigates the use of in-situ precipitated calcium carbonate produced in the presence of eucalyptus fiber material at a 41.0% filler level prior to beating. The in-situ filler containing eucalyptus fiber suspension was used on a 12’ (304mm) wide Laboratory Fourdrinier Paper Machine together with non-filler containing eucalyptus fiber material, and a commercial precipitated calcium carbonate filler material. The manufactured in-situ fiber suspension resulted in a higher ash retention compared to the addition of the powdered commercial PCC filler material. In addition to commercial filler material retention is improved at higher filler addition above 30%. The increased ash retention is linked to the increased micro fibrillation fiber material of the in-situ filler-fiber suspension forming neckless like particles on the fibers microfibrils. Mechanical paper properties showed an improvement for in-situ precipitated filler material compared to commercial filler material addition. Optical properties could be improved in comparison to the eucalyptus fiber without filler addition for in-situ precipitated filler material and a combination of in-situ and commercial filler material.
