When saturation is high, organisms can extract calcium and carbonate ions from seawater, forming solid crystals of calcium carbonate: Ca 2+ (aq) + 2HCO 3 − (aq) → CaCO 3 (s) + CO 2 + H 2 O For marine calcifiers to build and maintain calcium carbonate structures, CaCO 3 production must be greater than CaCO 3 loss through physical, chemical ...
Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime and is produced when calcium ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to form limescale. It has medical use as a calcium supplement or as an antacid , but excessive consumption can be hazardous and cause hypercalcemia and digestive issues.
The principal byproduct of the Solvay process is calcium chloride (CaCl 2) in aqueous solution. The process has other waste and byproducts as well. [11] Not all of the limestone that is calcined is converted to quicklime and carbon dioxide (in reaction II); the residual calcium carbonate and other components of the limestone become wastes.
The soda ash is extracted from the black ash with water. Evaporation of this extract yields solid sodium carbonate. This extraction process was termed lixiviation. [citation needed] In response to the Alkali Act, the noxious calcium sulfide was converted into calcium carbonate: CaS(s) + CO 2 (g) + H 2 O(l) → CaCO 3 (s) + H 2 S(g)
The carbonatation process is used in the production of sugar from sugar beets.It involves the introduction of limewater (milk of lime - calcium hydroxide suspension) and carbon dioxide enriched gas into the "raw juice" (the sugar rich liquid prepared from the diffusion stage of the process) to form calcium carbonate and precipitate impurities that are then removed.
Microbiologically induced calcium carbonate precipitation (MICP) is a bio-geochemical process that induces calcium carbonate precipitation within the soil matrix. [1] Biomineralization in the form of calcium carbonate precipitation can be traced back to the Precambrian period. [ 2 ]

Then the ground eggshell is placed in a separate vessel where air is injected into the water flow. The air and water mixture causes the lighter component (protein membrane) to float and the heavier (calcium carbonate eggshells) to sink. This unit recovers 96% of eggshell membrane and 99% of eggshell calcium carbonate in two hours. [10]
