Abstract
In the present work the effect of acetic and tartaric acid upon the th ermal decomposition of CaCO3 has been studied. Mixtures of CaCO3 and 5 , 10 and 20% acetic and tartaric acid have been prepared. These mixtur es were heated at various temperatures in order to study the progress of calcium carbonate decomposition by loss on ignition measurements. D ifferential Scanning Calorimetric as well as XRD studies have demonstr ated that the addition of acetic or tartaric acid to CaCO3 promotes it s thermal decomposition.
