Abstract
⺠Ultrasound combined with Mg2+ enhances the synthesis of aragonite by carbonation. ⺠High purity (>98%) aragonite precipitated at 24 °C with optimized process conditions. ⺠Influence of several process parameters on product purity explored for optimization. ⺠Novel aragonite crystal morphology (hubbard squash-like) produced at low temperature. ⺠Fed-batch process tested as scale-up route for production of pure aragonite powder.
