When calcium carbonate is heated, it generates carbon dioxide gas over 700°C, and at 900°C almost perfectly  

Calcium carbonate causes a reaction in contact with ammonium perchlorate quite slowly in presence of moisture  

Calcium carbonate gives an orange flame, and often is used for toy fireworks etc. as a substitute for strontium salts. 

Manufacture. Carbon dioxide gas is blown into milk lime. It is filtered, dried and crushed to a fine powder. 

Molecular weight 134.00 Colourless crystalline powder,- specific gravity 2.34 soluble in water 3.4 grams at 20°C, 6.3 grams at 100°C

The HYBOT descriptors were successfully applied to the prediction of the partition coefficient log P (>i--octanol/water) for small organic componnds with one acceptor group from their calculated polarizabilities and the free energy acceptor factor C, as well as properties like solubility log S, the permeability of drugs (Caco-2, human skin), and for the modeling of biological activities. 

Description of the Method. The operational definition of water hardness is the total concentration of cations in a sample capable of forming insoluble complexes with soap. Although most divalent and trivalent metal ions contribute to hardness, the most important are Ca + and Mg +. Hardness is determined by titrating with EDTA at a buffered pH of 10. Eriochrome Black T or calmagite is used as a visual indicator. Hardness is reported in parts per million CaCOs. 

The presence of a time limitation suggests that there must be a kinetically controlled interference, possibly arising from a competing chemical reaction. In this case the interference is the possible precipitation of CaCOs. 

SO2 absorbed in tower with NaOH—Na2S02 recycle solution. CaOH or CaCO added externally to precipitate CaSO, regenerate NaOH make-up NaOH or Na2C02 added. Process attempts to eliminate scaling/plugging problems of limestone slurry scmbbing. 

Raw ] Ia.teria.ls. Most of the raw materials are oxides (PbO, Ti02, Zr02) or carbonates (BaCO, SrCO, CaCO ). The levels of certain impurities and particle size are specified by the chemical suppHer. However, particle size and degree of aggregation are more difficult to specify. Because reactivity depends on particle size and the perfection of the crystals comprising the particles, the more detailed the specification, the more expensive the material. Thus raw materials are usually selected to meet appHcation-dependent requirements. 

Chemical Bond Formation (Chemisorption). This is the mechanism that leads to the formation of the strongest bonds between coUectors and mineral surfaces. Chemically adsorbed reagents usuaUy form surface compounds at the active waU sites. The flotation of calcite (CaCO ) and... 

Calcium C rbon te. Calcium carbonate, like R2O2, affects sulfuric and oleum consumption in the HF process. Sulfuric acid loss is approximately 0.98% H2SO4 for each percentage of CaCO. The carbon dioxide evolved by the reaction increases the noncondensable gas flow, and because it carries HF, contributes to yield losses in the vent stream. 

A fluidized bed is an excellent medium for contacting gases with sohds, and this can be exploited in a combustor because sulfur dioxide emissions can be reduced by adding limestone, CaCO, or dolomite, CaCO MgCO, to the bed. 

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate. Calcium carbonate [471-34-1] (Turns), CaCO, is a fine white microcrystaUine powder without odor or taste. It is stable in air. An aqueous suspension is close to neutrality. It is practically insoluble in water, insoluble in alcohol, and dissolves with effervescence in dilute acetic, hydrochloric, and nitric acids (see Calcium compounds, calcium carbonate). 

Dicalcium hexakiscyanoferrate [13821 -08 ] Ca2[Fe(CN)g], is formed as yellow crystals by reaction of Hquid or gaseous HCN with iron(II) chloride in water containing Ca(OH)2 or CaCO and having pH > 8. It is used to prevent caking of other substance and serves as a useful starting material in the preparation of other [Fe(CN)g] salts. Examples of mixed salts include calcium dicesium hexakiscyanoferrate [15415-35-7] CaCs2[Fe(CN)g], and calcium dipotassium hexakiscyanoferrate [20219-00-5] CaK2[Fe(CN)g]. 

Dolomitic limestone contains considerable MgCO. A tme dolomitic stone contains a ratio of 40—44% MgCO to 54—58% CaCO. However, the term is mote loosely used to denote any carbonate rock that contains mote than 20% MgCO. It varies in color, hardness, and purity. 

FLigh calcium limestone is a general term for stone that contains largely CaCO and not much (2—5% max) MgCO. It occurs in varying degrees of... 

Iceland spar s the purest limestone, virtually pure calcite of about 99.9% CaCO. It is also known as optical calcite its occurrence is rate. 

Oolitic limestone is composed of small rounded grains of CaCO, precipitated in concentric laminates around a nucleus of CaCO or siUca. It is frequently very pure but may be impure. 

Oyster shell, another of the many forms of fossiliferous limestones, is a relatively pure source of CaCO. ... 

Stalactites and stalagmites are conical, icicle-like shapes of pure CaCO that form on roofs and floors, respectively, of caverns. These are precipitated from cold groundwater that drips from limestone crevices. 

Impurities. The chemical composition and properties of lime and limestone depend on the nature of the impurities and the degree of contamination of the original stone. The contaminating materials either were deposited simultaneously with the CaCO or entered during some later stage (6).
