Abstract

Two different samples of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) hydrates were prepared respectively by mixing aqueous solutions of CaCl2 and Na2CO3-NaOH and by allowing the diffusion of (NH4)2CO3 sublimate into ethanol solution of CaCl2. Thermal behaviors of the synthetic ACCs were investigated comparatively by means of thermoanalytical techniques complimented by powder X-ray diffraction, FTIR spectrometry and microscopic observations. The anhydrous ACCs produced by the thermal dehydration of the respective samples were crystallized to calcite in different ways. The sample prepared in aqueous medium was crystallized at around 600 K in a single step. Crystallization in two separated steps at around 600 and 825 K was observed for the sample prepared in ethanol medium. Characteristics of the crystallization processes were discussed from thermodynamic and kinetic points of view.
