  4. Abstract:
  5. A spinning disk reactor (SDR) was applied and tested successfully for precipitated calcium carbonate particles synthesis in liquid–liquid system which is poorly understood in literature. The proposed SDR reactor consists of a spinning disk rotating at 4000–16,000 rpm. The proposed SDR resulted in a high local supersaturation ratio due to the intense energy dissipation produced by a high-speed spinning disk. The higher rotational speed of SDR produces calcium carbonate nanoparticles with smaller mean particle sizes and higher aragonite content. At the rotating speed of 15,000 rpm, precipitated calcium carbonate nanoparticles with a size of around 975 nm were produced. In addition, aragonite content increased from 10 to 95 wt% by increasing disk speed from 4000 to 15,000 rpm. © 2023, The Author(s) under exclusive licence to Associação Brasileira de Engenharia Química
