Calcium Carbonate (CaCO3) is a white, fluffy powder that is used as a dietary supplement and antacid. It is also a common biomineral. It is also known as powdered lime or limestone Calcium carbonate is a naturally occurring chemical compound, chemically represented as CaCO3, and is commonly known as limestone or chalk. It is a white or colorless solid, odorless, and insoluble in water. Calcium carbonate is a major component of many rocks and shells. Calcium carbonate (CaCO3) has numerous uses across various industries. It is a dietary supplement and antacid, but also finds applications in construction, paper, food, and other sectors.
Uses of Calcium Carbonate:
1.) Building material:
Marble: Used as a building block
Limestone: Used as a building block, such as in sand-lime bricks, and in road construction
Quick lime: Made from calcium carbonate
Plastics: Added to improve performance, processing, and sustainability
2.) Antacid:
Relieves heartburn, indigestion, and acid reflux by neutralizing excess stomach acid.
