Preliminary Investigations of CaCO3 Nucleation in Precipitation Reactions from Quasi-Homogeneous Solution

<p> An analysis of reported and theoretical methods of precipitating calcium carbonate from aqueous solution is presented, with emphasis on methods that generate the anion in the presence of Ca(++) ion.</p> <p> A new CaCO3 precipitation method referred to as precipitation from quasi-homogeneous solution and suitable for digital processor control is developed. This technique is then used to investigate the effects of ionic strength and Mg(++) ion on calcium carbonate nucleation.</p> <p> A minicomputer based interactive information system, capable of automatic data logging and processing of experimental results in studies using processor controlled precipitation of CaCO3 from quasi-homogeneous solution, is implemented and tested.</p> / Thesis / Master of Science (MSc)
