PRODUCTION OF HIGH PURITY PRECIPITATED CALCIUM CARBONATE

摘要

The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of precipitated calcium carbonate comprising the steps of a) providing and calcining calcium carbonate comprising material; b) slaking the reaction product obtained from step a) with an aqueous ammonium chloride solution; c) separating insoluble components from the calcium chloride solution obtained from step b); d) carbonating the calcium chloride solution obtained from step c); e) separating the precipitated calcium carbonate obtained from step d); the precipitated calcium carbonate obtained by this process, as well as uses thereof.
