Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is conventionally produced through the gas–solid–liquid process and can
be divided into three polymorphs: calcite, aragonite, and vaterite. Calcite is easily synthesized, because it is
the thermodynamically stable phase at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. Aragonite is a
metastable phase, while vaterite is a very unstable phase. PCC is used as filler in rubber, plastic, paint, and
paper products. In particular, aragonite PCC is used in car bumpers and dashboards as filler incorporated
with thermoplastic and polypropylene resins. This paper presents a review on producing of various structure
of PCC. A review of various process parameters (concentration of Ca(OH)2, flow rate of CO2, reaction
temperature, hydration temperature, additives, seed, Mg ion, Na2CO3, and pH) related to the formation of
PCC are presented. The more the concentration of Ca(OH)2 increases, the more the particle size of PCC
increases. The calcite is the main crystal phase at an about 30℃ reaction temperature, and the aragonite is
mainly produced at an about 80℃ reaction temperature. In addition, the initial hydration temperature of CaO
affects the particle diameter of Ca(OH)2 and the particle size and crystal phase of PCC. The higher the
concentration of PAA(additive) is, the more the particle diameter of PCC increases and the more aragonite
can be obtained. Because the Mg2+ ion acts as a cause of suppressing the growth of calcite, the yield of
aragonite increases with Mg2+ increases. pH has an effect on the structure of PCC, it is judged that a study
on the adjustment of PCC shapes using a buffer solution will be necessary in the future.
