ENVIRONMENTAL RESEARCH 2024; 246:118119. [PMID: 38191038 DOI: 10.1016/j.envres.2024.118119] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/27/2023] [Revised: 12/11/2023] [Accepted: 01/04/2024] [Indexed: 01/10/2024]
Abstract
In this study, a precipitation-based synthesis method has been employed to prepare magnesium calcites with the general formula Ca1-xMgxCO3, with the objective of use them in the calcium looping (CaL) process for CO2 capture (CaL-CCS) and thermochemical energy storage (CaL-CSP). The structure and microstructure of the samples have been characterized. It has been found by X-ray diffraction that the samples with a Ca:Mg molar ratio of 0.5:0.5 and 0.55:0.45 are phase pure, while the samples with molar ratios of 0.7:0.3 and 0.8:0.2 are composed by two phases with different stoichiometry. In addition, the sample prepared with calcium alone shows the aragonite phase. The microstructure of the magnesium-containing samples is composed of nanocrystals, which are aggregated in spherical particles whereas the aragonite sample presents a typical rod-like morphology. The multicycle tests carried out under CaL-CCS conditions show that an increase on the MgO content in the calcined samples results in a reduced value of effective conversion when compared to aragonite. On the other hand, under CaL-CSP conditions, the samples with the higher MgO content exhibit nearly stable effective conversion values around 0.5 after 20 cycles, which improve the results obtained for aragonite and those reported for natural dolomite tested under the same conditions.

Abstract
Calcite mesocrystals were proposed, and have been widely reported, to form in the presence of polymer additives via oriented assembly of nanoparticles. However, the formation mechanism and the role of polymer additives remain elusive. Here, inspired by the biomineralization process of sea urchin spine comprising magnesium calcite mesocrystals, we show that calcite mesocrystals could also be obtained via attachment of amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) nanoparticles in the presence of inorganic zinc ions. Moreover, we demonstrate that zinc ions can induce the formation of temporarily stabilized amorphous nanoparticles of less than 20 nm at a significantly lower calcium carbonate concentration as compared to pure solution, which is energetically beneficial for the attachment and occlusion during calcite growth. The cation-mediated particle attachment crystallization significantly improves our understanding of mesocrystal formation mechanisms in biomineralization and offers new opportunities to bioprocess inspired inorganic ions regulated materials fabrication.

Abstract
Inspired from the occlusion of macromolecules in mineral crystals during the biomineralization process, the occlusion mechanism of functional guest species into a host matrix is gradually revealed in artificial systems. However, the guest species within calcite crystals are limited to the nanometer scale. Herein, using amorphous calcium carbonate (ACC) as a precursor and taking advantage of the crystallization of vaterite by the attachment of ACC nanoparticles, micrometer-sized modified Escherichia coli (E. coli) was incorporated into vaterite crystals. The occlusion content of bacteria within the vaterite crystal could reach up to 16 wt%. On the contrary, the occlusion of E. coli into calcite crystals, which proceeded via ion-by-ion addition growth, was only confined to the surface layer. Through modifying the surface structure or chemical composition of bacteria, the strong interaction between the surface of the bacteria and calcium carbonate has proved to be the key factor for successful occlusion. Interestingly, the genetically modified green fluorescent protein (GFP)-E. coli/vaterite composites exhibited stable fluorescence for more than six months with little attenuation and the lifetime could be more than 1.2 μs. It was demonstrated that a combination of the amorphous precursor crystallization pathway and a suitable surface structure of the foreign species can significantly enhance the occlusion efficiency of micrometer-sized species in crystals.

Abstract
Nature produces biomineral-based materials with a fascinating set of properties using only a limited number of elements. This set of properties is obtained by closely controlling the structure and local composition of the biominerals. We are far from achieving the same degree of control over the properties of synthetic biomineral-based composites. One reason for this inferior control is our incomplete understanding of the influence of the synthesis conditions and additives on the structure and composition of the forming biominerals. In this Review, we provide an overview of the current understanding of the influence of synthesis conditions and additives during different formation stages of CaCO3 , one of the most abundant biominerals, on the structure, composition, and properties of the resulting CaCO3 crystals. In addition, we summarize currently known means to tune these parameters. Throughout the Review, we put special emphasis on the role of water in mediating the formation of CaCO3 and thereby influencing its structure and properties, an often overlooked aspect that is of high relevance.

Abstract
Amorphous precursors are known to occur in the early stages of carbonate mineral formation in both biotic and abiotic environments. Although the Mg content of amorphous calcium magnesium carbonate (ACMC) is a crucial factor for its temporal stabilization, to date little is known about its control on ACMC solubility. Therefore, amorphous Ca x Mg1-x CO3·nH2O solids with 0 ≤ x ≤ 1 and 0.4 ≤ n ≤ 0.8 were synthesized and dispersed in MgCl2-NaHCO3 buffered solutions at 24.5 ± 0.5 °C. The chemical evolution of the solution and the precipitate clearly shows an instantaneous exchange of ions between ACMC and aqueous solution. The obtained ion activity product for ACMC (IAPACMC = "solubility product") increases as a function of its Mg content ([Mg]ACMC = (1 - x) × 100 in mol%) according to the expression: log(IAPACMC) = 0.0174 (±0.0013) × [Mg]ACMC - 6.278 (±0.046) (R 2 = 0.98), where the log(IAPACMC) shift from Ca (-6.28 ± 0.05) to Mg (-4.54 ± 0.16) ACMC endmember, can be explained by the increasing water content and changes in short-range order, as Ca is substituted by Mg in the ACMC structure. The results of this study shed light on the factors controlling ACMC solubility and its temporal stability in aqueous solutions.

Abstract
CaCO3 is often used as an additive in many industries. However, additional functions are required to expand its applicability. This entails modification of its physicochemical properties. Accordingly, in this study, a particle surface modification treatment was performed on CaCO3 produced from desulfurized gypsum for a range of industrial applications. In the experiment, fatty acids were used to modify the CaCO3 surface, and the scale of the modification effect was based on the degree of change associated with a polar surface taking on nonpolar surface properties. In the preliminary modification experiment, stearic acid was dissolved in 2-propanol or chloroform, and the extent of the reaction and the active ratio were measured according to the stearic acid concentration. The results showed that the effective active ratio, considering the activity to unit adsorption, was higher in 2-propanol than in chloroform. Consequently, the modification solvent used in the experiment changed the CaCO3 surface from a hydrophilic, polarized form to a hydrophobic, nonpolarized form. These results will also allow the CaCO3 produced to be used as a filler in a range of chemical industries.
