PRECIPITATED CALCIUM CARBONATE PRODUCTION IN NIGERIA; THE OPPORTUNITIES.

Precipitated Calcium Carbonate is the same with Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC) in chemical composition but PCC is purer than the limestone from which it is made, and is lower in silica and lead. PCC’s shape and size are different from that of GCC. GCC is seen to be irregularly rhombohedral in shape under high magnification whereas PCC’s crystal shape depends on the product, and the particles are more uniform and regular in shape. PCC is available in numerous crystal morphologies and sizes, which can be tailored to optimize performance in a specific application.

Precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) is an innovative product, derived from lime, which has many industrial applications.  PCC is made by hydrating high-calcium quicklime, and then reacting the resulting slurry, or “milk-of-lime”, with carbon dioxide.  The resulting product is extremely white and typically has a uniform narrow particle size distribution.

The importance of PCC cannot be overemphasized. In paints, PCC’s unique particle size shapes improve capacity and allow reductions in titanium dioxide levels.  It has versatile application such as in emulsion paints, architectural finishes, traffic paint, industrial primers, undercoats in rubbers.  It is widely used in high value rubber products.

In health applications, PCC is an effective acid neutralizer and it enables the formulation of high dosage calcium supplements and multi-vitamin/mineral tablets.  In paper industry, PCC is well established as a filler and coating pigment for premium quality paper products.  PCC enhances optical properties and print characteristics of paper products, improves paper machine productivity. The demand for precipitated calcium carbonate is quite high in Nigeria and the raw material is also available in commercial quantity.

The PPC requirement in Nigeria is met mainly through importation despite the abundance raw material for its local production.The major raw material required for the production is Limestone / Marble. Nigeria has an estimated reserve of Limestone / Marble in excess of over one billion {1,000,000,000} metric tons of Limestone / Marble scattered in different parts of the country to include Benue, Ogun, Kogi and Cross River states.

The bulk of the demand for precipitated calcium carbonates in Nigeria comes from paint, plastic, pharmaceuticals and paper industries.
