Abstract:
The present invention is directed to a process for producing an aqueous suspension of precipitated calcium carbonate, wherein a milk of lime is prepared by mixing water, a calcium oxide containing material, and a precipitation enhancer, and subsequently, the milk of lime is carbonated to form an aqueous suspension of precipitated calcium carbonate.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to a process for increasing the solids content of aqueous sludges and/or sediments, to the use of a surface-treated mineral material for increasing the solids content of sludges and/or sediments, and to a composite material comprising a surface-treated mineral material and impurities obtainable by said process.
Abstract:
The present invention provides for method of improving flowability and loose bulk density of functionalized natural- and/or synthetic calcium carbonate comprising material, to the use of such improved material in ready to use granules and thereof produced dispersible dosage forms.

Abstract:
The present invention relates to a method for the production of granules comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate by a) providing surface-reacted calcium carbonate, b) saturating the surface-reacted calcium carbonate with one or more liquids; c) providing one or more binder; d) combining the liquid saturated surface-reacted calcium carbonate with the one or more binder under agitation in an agitation device; e) removing the liquid from the mixture of step d); as well as to the granules comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate obtained by this method.
Abstract:
The present application relates to a process for preparing a surface-reacted calcium carbonate in an aqueous environment. The process according to the present invention aims at avoiding the mandatory implementation of medium-strong to strong acids. Another aspect of the present invention is directed to an aqueous suspension of surface-reacted calcium carbonate which is obtainable by the inventive process.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an abrasive cleaning composition comprising at least 6 wt.-%, based on the total weight of the composition, of a surface-reacted calcium carbonate as an abrasive material, wherein the surface-reacted calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural or synthetic calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and at least one acid.
Abstract:
An orally fast disintegrating dosage forms comprising functionalized natural or synthetic calcium carbonate, at least one active ingredient and at least one disintegrant, wherein said functionalized natural or synthetic calcium carbonate is a reaction product of natural or synthetic calcium carbonate with carbon dioxide and one or more acids, wherein the carbon dioxide is formed in situ by the acid treatment and/or is supplied from an external source, and wherein the tablet dissolves in less than 20 seconds when introduced into an aqueous environment.
Abstract:
The present invention relates to an economic process for preparing surface-reacted calcium carbonate. The present invention further relates to a surface-reacted calcium carbonate having an increased specific BET surface area, and the use of a process for adjusting the specific BET surface area.
