我们为钙碳酸盐(CaCO3 ) 的绿合成报导新奇策略由使用四棵蔬菜的 microspheres:土豆,黄瓜,茄子,和胡萝卜。产品被扫描电子显微镜学, X 光检查粉末 diffractometry 或 Fourier 变换描绘红外线的光谱学。结果证明球形的方解石晶体面对土豆,黄瓜和茄子摘录被获得,当一致 vaterite 和方解石混合了 microspheres 时与胡萝卜的摘录被生产。由使用蔬菜的 CaCO3 microspheres 的可能的形成机制也被讨论,建议特别蛋白质可以导致并且控制的 biomolecules CaCO3 晶体的成核和生长。CaCO3 是重要 biomineral 和无机的材料。一致粒子在许多区域有众多的重要应用。因此,这研究不仅为扩展晶体工程的范围,而且为 biomineralization 研究和功能的无机的材料的绿合成是很重要的。
We report a novel strategy for the green synthesis of calcium carbonate (CaCO3) microspheres by using four vegetables: potato, cucumber, aubergine, and carrot. The products were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, X-ray powder diffractometry and/or Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the spherical calcite crystals are obtained in the presence of potato, cucumber and aubergine extracts, while uniform vaterite and calcite mixed microspheres are produced with the extracts of carrot. The possible formation mechanism of the CaCO3 microspheres by using vegetables is also discussed, suggesting that the biomolecules especially proteins may induce and control the nucleation and growth of CaCO3 crystals. CaCO3 is an important biomineral and inorganic material. Uniform particles have numerous important applications in many areas. Therefore, this study is very significant not only for expanding the scope of crystal engineering, but also for biomineralization research and green synthesis of functional inorganic materials.
