Calcium lactate has similar absorption as calcium carbonate, [42] but is more expensive. [41] [26] Unlike calcium carbonate, calcium lactate can be absorbed at various pHs, thus it does not need to be taken with food. [26] Calcium lactate is a less concentrated forms of calcium than calcium carbonate. [41] Calcium lactate contains 13% elemental ...
Calcium carbonate is used in the production of calcium oxide as well as toothpaste and has seen a resurgence as a food preservative and color retainer, when used in or with products such as organic apples. [58] Calcium carbonate is used therapeutically as phosphate binder in patients on maintenance haemodialysis. It is the most common form of ...
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 ]
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.
The alkali–carbonate reaction is an alteration process first suspected in the 1950s in Canada for the degradation of concrete containing dolomite aggregates. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Alkali from the cement might react with the dolomite crystals present in the aggregate inducing the production of brucite , (MgOH) 2 , and calcite (CaCO 3 ).

The impacts of reduced calcium carbonate saturation on marine calcifiers have broader ecological implications, as these organisms play vital roles in marine ecosystems. For example, coral reefs, which are built by coral polyps secreting calcium carbonate skeletons, are particularly vulnerable to changes in calcium carbonate saturation. [14]
The calcium cycle is a transfer of calcium between dissolved and solid phases. There is a continuous supply of calcium ions into waterways from rocks, organisms, and soils. [1] [2] Calcium ions are consumed and removed from aqueous environments as they react to form insoluble structures such as calcium carbonate and calcium silicate, [1] [3] which can deposit to form sediments or the ...
