Mineralization of simulated flue gas to prepare CaCO3 whisker using suspended CaSO4

“…The growth process of crystals is the result of the interaction of various influencing factors . The final shape of crystal growth is usually determined by the smallest surface energy .…”

“…Therefore, the limiting steps of the carbonization process may be: reaction (1) (diffusion and dissolution of CO 2 gas in solution), reaction (3), and diffusion of CO The growth process of crystals is the result of the interaction of various influencing factors. [18,19] The final shape of crystal growth is usually determined by the smallest surface energy. [20] The mass transfer of growth units consisting of Ca 2+ and CO 2 − 3 on the growth surface in the x-axis or y-axis direction indicates the growth process of CaCO 3 whiskers (Figure 6), in which the local surface of the CaCO 3 whisker is enlarged.…”

MgSO4‐(NH4)2SO4‐NH3·H2O system mineralizing CO2 for preparation of MgCO3·3H2O whiskers

“…Crystal growth is the overall result of several influence factors interacting with each other. [17,18] The final shape of crystal growth is determined by the lowest surface energy. [19] Each Mg ion is coordinated with two water molecules and four oxygen atoms from the CO 3 2À to sustain a [4 + 2] complexation.…”
