Preparation and formation mechanism of wood-block-like calcite particles
- State Key Laboratory of Advanced Technology for Material Synthesis and Processing, Wuhan University of Technology, Wuhan 430070 (China)
Pure calcite crystal with different morphologies such as wood-block and spherical aggregates were prepared by a precipitation reaction in the presence of citric acid. The as-prepared products were characterized with scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The results showed that citric acid obviously influenced the formation of precipitates and the morphology of final products. The formation mechanism of wood-block-like particles was proposed according to theoretical deduction and the proposed growth mode. - Graphical abstract: Pure calcite crystal with different morphologies such as wood-block and spherical aggregates were prepared by a simple precipitation reaction in the presence of citric acid and the formation mechanism was proposed.
