Calcium carbonate is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula CaCO3, which is the main component of limestone, marble, etc. Calcium carbonate is usually white crystal, odorless, basically insoluble in water, and easily reacts with acid to release carbon dioxide. It is one of the common substances on the earth. It exists in aragonite, calcite, chalk, limestone, marble, travertine and other rocks. It is also the main component of some animal bones or shells. Calcium carbonate is also an important building material, widely used in industry.
Industrial applications
Calcium carbonate is the trade name of limestone, a valuable resource with a wide range of uses, as a mineral raw material. Limestone has been widely used in the history of human civilization because of its wide distribution in nature and easy access. As an important building material, it has a long mining history. In modern industry, limestone is the main raw material for making cement, lime, and calcium carbide. It is an indispensable flux limestone in the metallurgical industry. High-quality limestone is widely used after ultra-fine grinding. Used in the manufacture of paper, rubber, paint, coatings, medicine, cosmetics, feed, sealing, bonding, polishing and other products. According to incomplete statistics, the ratio of limestone consumed in cement production to construction stone, lime production, metallurgical flux, and limestone consumed in superfine calcium carbonate is 1:3. Limestone is a non-renewable resource. With the continuous progress of science and technology and the development of nanotechnology, the application field of limestone will be further expanded.
Applications in the food industry
It can be used as an additive in the food industry. For example, it can be used in various feed additives, with a calcium content of over 55.6% and no harmful ingredients. It can be used as a calcium supplement, with an absorption rate of 39%, second only to calcium fruit acid, soluble in gastric acid, and has become the calcium supplement with the most formulations and applications.
Application in construction industry
It can be used as a raw material for plastic factories, rubber factories, paint factories, waterproof material factories, and for painting interior and exterior walls. It has the characteristics of high purity, high whiteness, non-toxic, odorless, low fine oil quality and low hardness. Marble is also an important building material that can be used in the construction of houses
