Recrystallization is a technique used to purify solid compounds.1 Solids tend to be more soluble in hot liquids than in cold liquids. During recrystallization, an impure solid compound is dissolved in a hot liquid until the solution is saturated, and then the liquid is allowed to cool.2 The compound should then form relatively pure crystals. Ideally, any impurities that are present will remain in the solution and will not be...

Protocols for microbiologically induced calcite precipitation (MICP) using the bacterium Sporosarcina pasteurii are presented here. The precipitated calcium carbonate was characterized through optical microscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). It is also shown that exposure to MICP increases the compressive strength of...

Recrystallization
Often, the desired product of a chemical reaction is part of a more complex reaction mixture, which can be composed of the solvent, starting materials, and impurities. Learning how to purify organic compounds properly is a valuable technique in organic chemistry. Recrystallization harnesses the differences in solubility of the desired compound and the impurity in the solvent to purify the desired product as a solid. There are three standard methods of purification:...

Area of Science:

  • Geochemistry
  • Environmental Science
  • Materials Science

Background:

  • Conflicting views exist on calcite's reactivity and composition stability.
  • Environmental remediation uses calcite's rapid recrystallization.
  • Paleo-ecology relies on calcite's compositional invariance over time.

Purpose of the Study:

  • Quantify calcite recrystallization rates using radiotracer experiments.
  • Investigate the influence of morphology and particle size on reactivity.
  • Clarify the mechanisms driving calcite recrystallization.

Main Methods:

  • Long-term radiotracer experiments.
  • Analysis of seven calcite powder types with varied characteristics.
  • Measurement of recrystallization rates and interfacial free energy.

Main Results:

  • Demonstrated long-term metastability of calcite with equilibrated surfaces.
  • Documented high reactivity and interfacial free energy of freshly ground calcite.
  • Identified particle roughness as a dominant factor in recrystallization, driven by interfacial free energy and Ostwald ripening.

Conclusions:

  • Calcite recrystallization is an interfacial free energy-driven Ostwald ripening process.
  • Particle roughness significantly impacts calcite reactivity.
  • Surface exchange rates at room temperature are limited and slow, with an activation barrier of ~25 kJ/mol.
