Factors controlling and influencing polymorphism, morphology and size of calcium carbonate synthesized through the carbonation route: A review

CaCO3-based carriers with prolonged release properties for antifungal drug delivery to hair follicles

“…49,50,[59][60][61][62][63] Furthermore, the unique mechanical, physical, and chemical properties of CaCO 3 determine its applicability in various personal care products, where it acts as abrasive, absorbent, anticaking agents, buffers, fillers colorants, bleaching agents, and emulsion stabilizers. 64,65 Herein, we aimed at elaborating a novel topical formulation for griseofulvin antifungal drug, which is water-insoluble and currently commercially available in oral dosage forms. Through the incorporation of the drug into CaCO 3 carriers via the coprecipitation method and the formation of biocompatible shells on their surface using a layer-by-layer technique, we produced for the first time the prolonged-release particulate system for further evaluation.…”

Synthesis and Modification of Nano-Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) with Addition of Ethylene Glycol

“…The versatility and design of CaCO3 particles have aroused considerable interest in both the scientist and the industrial community due to their wide field of applications and biocompatibility. PCC is widely used as filler in paints, pigments, plastics, fibres and cement, according to its characteristics, such as morphology and size [1].…”

Directed synthesis of aragonite through semi-continuous seeded crystallization methods for CO2 utilization

“…9,10 The end use and market value of the carbonates will be largely determined by their purities and associated properties, especially their crystal structure and morphologies. 6,11 Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is a natural target for the carbon mineralization of Ca-bearing alkaline wastes due to the numerous industrial uses of CaCO 3 . The three different anhydrous polymorphs of CaCO 3 , vaterite, aragonite, and calcite (listed in order of increasing thermodynamic stability), can be produced synthetically using high purity model salts (e.g., CaCl 2 and K 2 CO 3 ).…”

“…12,14 These structural differences are reflected in the individual crystal habits and macroscopic properties and allow for potential niche applications of the uncommon metastable PCC polymorphs, aragonite and vaterite. 11,12 Tuning ex situ carbon mineralization reactions to produce these three distinct PCC polymorphs with potential market value gives CCUS increased motivation.…”
