Abstract

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) can be utilized in energy-effective paper production. Limestone is a raw material for synthesizing PCC. Since the PCC production yield depends on the physicochemical properties of the limestone, a basic investigation of the raw limestone is required. This study provides a brief review of the origin of limestone, limestone distribution characteristics, and limestone deposits in Korea and Vietnam. Most limestones in Korea were formed in the Paleozoic era. On the other hand, limestones in Vietnam have various ages from the Precambrian to the Triassic. Limestone is the most largely produced mineral in Korea, but Vietnam has 5 times more amount of limestone reserves than Korea.
