Abstract

Calcium carbonate is one of the most abundant materials present in nature. Crystal structures of CaCO3 become three polymorphic modifications, namely calcite, aragonite and vaterite. Polymorphic modifications are mediated by adding aspartic acid (Asp) and lysozyme. Lysozyme, which is a major component of egg white proteins, has influenced the calcification of avian eggshells. The influence of Asp and lysozyme on the crystallization of CaCO3 was_x000D_ investigated by adding these additives and calcium chloride solution into sodium carbonate solution in a crystallization vessel. CaCO3 crystals were analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and Fourier transform infrared spectrometry (FT-IR). XRD was used to select the intensities and crystal structure of specific calcium carbonate. SEM was employed for the analysis of the morphology of the precipitation_x000D_ and particle size. Two kinds of crystals were identified by FT-IR spectrum. Hexagonal crystals of vaterite were affected by the Asp in the crystallization solution. However, rhombohedral crystals of calcite by lysozyme were formed without any sign of vaterite.
