Abstract

In the salt lake industry, large amounts of steamed ammonia liquid waste are discharged as byproducts. The conversion of the residues into high value-added vaterite-phase calcium carbonate products for industrial applications is highly desirable. In this research, the feasibility of preparing vaterite-phase CaCO 3 in different CaCl 2 -CO 2 -MOH-H 2 O systems using steamed ammonia liquid waste was studied in the absence of additives. The effects of initial CaCl 2 concentration, stirring speed and CO 2 flow rate on the composition of the CaCO 3 crystal phase were investigated. The contents of vaterite were researched by the use of steamed ammonia liquid waste as a calcium source and pure calcium chloride as a contrast. The influence of the concentration of C NH 3 ·H 2 O /C Ca 2+ on the carbonation ratio and crystal phase composition was studied. The reaction conditions on the content, particle size and morphology of vaterite influence were discussed. It was observed that single vaterite-phase CaCO 3 was favored in the CaCl 2 -CO 2 -NH 4 OH-H 2 O system. Additionally, the impurity ions in steamed ammonia liquid waste play a key role in the nucleation and crystallization of vaterite, which could affect the formation of single-phase vaterite. The obtained results provided a novel method for the preparation of single vaterite particles with the utilization of CO 2 and offered a selective method for the extensive utilization of steamed ammonia liquid waste.
