Effect of Hydraulic Activity on Crystallization of Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) for Eco-Friendly Paper
نویسندگان
چکیده
Wt% of aragonite, a CaCO(3) polymorph, increased with higher hydraulic activity ( degrees C) of limestone in precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) from the lime-soda process (Ca(OH)(2)-NaOH-Na(2)CO(3)). Only calcite, the most stable polymorph, was crystallized at hydraulic activity under 10 degrees C, whereas aragonite also started to crystallize over 10 degrees C. The crystallization of PCC is more dependent on the hydraulic activity of limestone than CaO content, a factor commonly used to classify limestone ores according to quality. The results could be effectively applied to the determination of polymorphs in synthetic PCC for eco-friendly paper manufacture.

In this paper, electrochemical behavior of epoxy paints embedded by modified calcium carbonate particles was investigated during exposure to 3.5 wt% NaCl solution. The precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) and ground calcium carbonate (GCC) particles were utilized as inexpensive filler for epoxy paints. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS), polarization tests and pin-on-disk method w...
متن کاملEffect of Particle Size Distribution of Lime Sludge on the Hydrophobicity of Paper
Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is a filler that is widely used for papermaking, and lime sludge is a special type of PCC recovered from the black liquor from kraft pulping. There has been some concern that lime sludge may interfere with the development of paper’s hydrophobicity in comparison with commercial PCC and ground calcium carbonate (GCC) due to the presence of impurities when alky...
متن کاملSubstitution of High-yield-pulp for Hardwood Bleached Kraft Pulp in Paper Production and Its Effect on Alkenyl Succinic Anhydride Sizing
In recent years there has been an increasing interest in using high-yield pulp (HYP) as a partial replacement for hardwood bleached kraft pulp (HWBKP) in the production of high-quality fine papers as a cost-effective way of improving the product performance. This study investigated the substitution of HYP for HWBKP and its effect on the Alkenyl Succinic Anhydride (ASA) sizing performance. The r...
متن کاملUsing a Novel Fly Ash Based Calcium Silicate as a Potential Paper Filler
A novel calcium silicate filler can be made from fly ash. This new filler, known as fly ash based calcium silicate (FACS), has a highly porous surface structure, high brightness (91% ISO), low bulk density (0.31 g/cm 3 ), and high specific surface area (121 m 2 /g). In this paper, its potential application as a paper filler was studied and its effect on drainage, retention, and paper properties...
