Limestone (calcium carbonate CaCO3) is a type of carbonate sedimentary rock which is the main source of the material lime. It is composed mostly of the minerals calcite and aragonite, which are different crystal forms of CaCO3. Limestone forms when these minerals precipitate out of water containing dissolved calcium.
Calcium Carbonate (CaCOâ??) Powder is a naturally occurring mineral composed primarily of calcium and carbon. Known for its high purity, brightness, and low abrasiveness, calcite is widely used across various industrial sectors. It is highly valued for its ability to neutralize acids, enhance mechanical properties, and provide cost-effective filler material. Available in fine white powder with particle size ranging from 40 microns to 10 microns.
Calcium Carbonate
1. Chemical Name: Calcium carbonate
2. Molecular Formula: CaCO3
3. Molecular Weight: 100.09
4. CAS: 471-34-1
5. Shelf life: 24 months
6. Character: It is powder and granular white or colorless, microcrystalline powder. It is stable in air, and it is practically insoluble in water and in alcohol. The presence of any ammonium salt or carbon dioxide increases its solubility in water, but the presence of any alkali hydroxide reduces the solubility.
7. Usage :
1. Food industry
Food additives: used as nutritional fortifiers, acidity regulators, and anti caking agents in foods such as bread, biscuits, and milk powder.
Calcium supplements: used in food to increase calcium content and enhance nutritional value.
2. Pharma industry
Calcium supplements: used for preparing calcium tablets and other calcium supplements to prevent and treat calcium deficiency.
Pharma excipients: used as excipients in pharma formulations for the preparation of tablets and capsules.
