Here, we report the influence of concentration and solution pH on the extent of growth inhibition. Equal volumes of equimolar CaCl2 and Na2CO3 solutions were mixed and continuously dispersed in Ca(OH)2 solution, where Ca2+ irreversibly adsorb on the precipitates. Compared to conditions where additive Ca2+ are absent, this method can produce more than 90% decrease in particle size. We observe the degree of growth inhibition increases as the concentration of additive Ca2+, relative to the volume of precipitates, increases. An unusual role of pH is also revealed: growth inhibition that leads to the synthesis of monodisperse submicron CaCO3 particles is only observed in high alkaline pH conditions. Additive Ca2+ adsorb on CaCO3 precipitates in pH conditions above the isoelectric point (pH ≈ 9), but their ability to limit CaCO3 growth diminishes when pH < 12. © 2024 Elsevier B.V.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Inhibition of Caco3 Growth and Synthesis of Submicron Particles by Preferential Adsorption of Additive Ca2+ Ions on Fresh Precipitates(Royal Society of Chemistry, 2022) Majekodunmi, Olukayode T.; Kılıç Özdemir, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremThis study demonstrates a method to inhibit the growth of CaCO3 and synthesize submicron particles in a chemical precipitation process under ambient and high supersaturation conditions. Equimolar CaCl2 and Na2CO3 solutions were mixed in a model tubular reactor at a constant flow rate, and the precipitates were continuously dispersed in stirred 250 mL of 10 mM Ca(OH)2 solution. This approach resulted in the synthesis of colloidally stable submicron CaCO3 particles for a precipitant concentration ≤75 mM. Varying the precipitates’ retention time in the tubular reactor had no significant effects on the particle size and colloidal stability. Time-dependent changes in the mean size, crystal form, morphology and specific surface area of the synthesized particles were also studied. For a precipitant concentration of 75 mM, the particles were monodispersed and porous spindle-like scalenohedral crystals which gradually grew in all faces as more precipitates were fed into the Ca(OH)2 solution. The mean hydrodynamic size of the particles was ∼850 nm at the 8th minute. However, in the absence of additive Ca2+ ions, the particles obtained at the 8th minute were polydisperse mixtures of vaterite and rhombohedral calcite particles greater than 4 μm in size. The results show that free additive Ca2+ ions are irreversibly adsorbed onto the particles as the precipitates dissolve and recrystallize into smaller crystals upon reaching the Ca(OH)2 solution.Article Citation - WoS: 23Citation - Scopus: 31Nano-Caco3 Synthesis by Jet Flow(Elsevier Ltd., 2017) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremA new methodology was introduced to produce hollow nano calcite particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. The design consisted of a jet flow system in which the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The newly produced nano CaCO3 particles of about 140 nm were removed from the crystallization region as quickly as possible into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. In the stages of crystallization, the particles started to dissolve from their edges which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores closed. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. Different particles with different morphologies can be produced by adjusting the stages in the crystallization.Article Citation - WoS: 20Citation - Scopus: 23Rice-Like Hollow Nano-Caco3 Synthesis(Elsevier Ltd., 2016) Ülkeryıldız, Eda; Kılıç, Sevgi; Özdemir, EkremWe have shown that Ca(OH)2 solution is a natural stabilizer for CaCO3 particles. We designed a CO2 bubbling crystallization reactor to produce nano-CaCO3 particles in homogenous size distribution without aggregation. In the experimental set-up, the crystallization region was separated from the stabilization region. The produced nanoparticles were removed from the crystallization region into the stabilization region before aggregation or crystal growth. It was shown that rice-like hollow nano-CaCO3 particles in about 250 nm in size were produced with almost monodispersed size distribution. The particles started to dissolve through their edges as CO2 bubbles were injected, which opened-up the pores inside the particles. At the late stages of crystallization, the open pores were closed as a result of dissolution-recrystallization of the newly synthesized CaCO3 particles. These particles were stable in Ca(OH)2 solution and no aggregation was detected. The present methodology can be used in drug encapsulation into inorganic CaCO3 particles for cancer treatment with some modifications.
