Abstract
A new method to synthesize a hollow structure containing calcium and m agnesium oxides is proposed. The method involves three processes: Firs t, magnesium carbonate is formed around needlelike aragonite in an aut oclave using urea. Second, the needlelike aragonite is removed with hy drochloric acid, and hollow magnesium carbonate is obtained. Third, th e hollow magnesium carbonate is heated to form a product containing ma gnesium and calcium oxides without its shape being altered.
