CaCO(3) nanoparticle synthesis by carbonation of lime solution in microemulsion systems.

Various aspects of nanoparticle precipitation in gas-reverse micellar systems have been studied. The experimental system chosen for investigation deals with the precipitation of CaCO(3) nanoparticles. The effect of operating variables, such as water-to-surfactant molar ratio, different continuous phases, surfactant concentration and stirring speed, have been investigated experimentally.
