 — Ocean warming and acidification threaten the future growth of coral reefs. This is because the calcifying coral reef taxa that construct the calcium carbonate frameworks and cement the reef together are highly sensitive to ocean warming and acidification. However, the global-scale effects of ocean w …

 — Calcium carbonate: Calcium carbonate reacts with gastric HCl to produce calcium chloride, carbon dioxide, and water. Calcium ions decrease heartburn symptoms by stimulating peristalsis in the esophagus and moving the acid into the stomach. Carbonate anions bind to free protons ...

 — Commercial precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) production dates back to 1841 G.C., when it was first produced by the English company John E. Sturge Ltd.

 — The new technology of microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) has been applied in construction materials as a strategy to enhance their properties. In pursuit of solutions that are more localized and tailored to the study's target, this work focused on isolating and selecting bacteria capable of producing CaCO3 for posterior …

The production of natural ground calcium carbonate starts with the quarrying of a deposit of chalk, limestone, or marble. The best deposits for most industrial applications are those having a high (>90% CaCO3) …

 — 1. Introduction. Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is widely used as a filler and a pigment in various applications, e.g. in paper, plastics and pharmaceutics (Roskill Information Services, 2012, Stratton, 2012).The main PCC production method is the so-called carbonation process, in which limestone (CaCO 3) is first calcined in a lime kiln to …

 — Calcium carbonate content was negatively correlated with an eggshell thickness (estimate = −0.04, s.e. ± 0.006, t = 6.86, ... The calcium needed for egg production must be acquired from the environment within a brief window prior to egg laying, in order to increase circulating calcium [34,38,81].

In oil and gas production, ground calcium carbonates reduce filtration loss in drilling fluid formulations. Calcium carbonate is an abundant and very versatile mineral, making it a key mineral for the future. Placing …

Present-day production of CaCO 3 in tne world ocean is calculated to be about 5 billion tons (bt) per year, of which about 3 bt accumulate in sediments; the other 40% is dissolved. Nearly half of the carbonate sediment accumulates on reefs, banks, and tropical shelves, and consists largely of metastable aragonite and magnesian calcite.

 — The production and microstructure of calcium carbonate were detected to explain the mechanism of calcium carbonate production and crystal size formation in …

 — Figure (PageIndex{1}): (a) Stalactites and (b) stalagmites are cave formations of calcium carbonate. (credit a: modification of work by Arvind Govindaraj; credit b: modification of work by the National Park Service.) The two carbonates used commercially in the largest quantities are sodium carbonate and calcium carbonate.

 — In this review, we discuss microbially induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) in detail. In the MICP process, urease plays a major role in urea hydrolysis by a …
