Abstract
Precipitated calcium carbonate is one of the most versatile mineral fillers and is consumed in an wide range of products including paper, paint, plastics, rubber, textiles, sealants, adhesives and printing ink and can be produced by several methods. Calcium carbonate has three isomorphism; vaterite, aragonite and calcite, with numerous variations of morphology in the natural mineral or organism. Formation process of vaterite in the reaction of system $Ca(OH)_2-CH_3OH-H_2O-CO_2$ were investigated by measuring the electrical conductivity, $Ca^{2+}$ ion concentration, pH in the slurries and by means of X-ray diffraction and electron microscopic observation. It was clearly established that the reaction temperature is important variable in the carbonation process; in general over 50${\circ}C$, the vaterite was precipitated with the calcite and aragonite. SEM and XRD observations revealed that the vaterite formation could be prepared the temperature range of 40 to 50${\circ}C$ and mean size of particles in this range is controlled from 0.5 to 0.8 ${\mu}m$.
