Abstract
A method for preparing calcium carbonate (CaCO) coated calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)) particles. The method includes introducing liquid carbon dioxide into a reaction vessel, introducing calcium hydroxide particles into the reaction vessel, and effectively mixing the calcium hydroxide particles into the liquid carbon dioxide. The method further includes inducing a phase change in the liquid carbon dioxide so as to coat the calcium hydroxide in dry ice. In a different embodiment, liquid carbon dioxide may be introduced into a throttle valve inducing a phase change into a mixture of a gaseous carbon dioxide and a solid dry ice, and calcium hydroxide particles can be introduced into an exit stream with said mixture, inducing heterogeneous nucleation of the dry ice. In addition, both embodiments include sublimating the dry ice after a predetermined residence time to control the thickness of the calcium carbonate coating on the calcium hydroxide particles.
