Calcite (CaCO3 calcium carbonate rocks forming mineral)

Calcite  (CaCO3  calcium carbonate rocks forming mineral)

When considering the growing of the plants and animals in our world, when considering the modern world, mankind and our daily lives, that’s some like impossible to imagine our lives without calcium carbonate. Almost every product which we use in our daily lives, it contains calcium carbonate or during its production it is associated with the mineral. 
Calcium carbonate reserves are spread throughout the world; although the deposits are plentiful, only a few are of sufficient high quality to be mined and even a fewer number of deposits provide raw materials for industrial and agricultural use other than the construction and roads building industry. Only if the purity, degree of whiteness, thickness and homogeneity are acceptable, it is worth for the commercial extraction. After quarrying, further treatment -which are mostly separating and grinding- is required to process natural calcium carbonates of the highest quality, known generically as Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC). Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC) is a synthetic calcium carbonate which is produced by industry too. Both GCC and PCC can be used in a wide range of applications in much kind of products. For each end use there exists a tailor-made product, where fineness and particle size distribution are optimally balanced to meet the technical demands and quality of that particular requirement.

The formation of Calcite (Calcium Carbonate) which produces as commercial worth in the world are white, pure lime stone, holocrystalline (which produces in Turkey) and the formation are white chalk.

The calcite formations are quite wide in Turkey and especially Nigde area is one of the whitest deposits in the world as well as in Turkey. The whiteness becomes more especially after the grinding process. CaCO3 percentage is quite high and that is the most other important point for the related consumption industries which calcite is used.
