The invention discloses an artificial nacre material with layered structure and preparation method thereof. The preparation method includes the following steps: uniformly mixing a carbonated cementitious material and water at a water-solid ratio of 0.3 to 1.2 to obtain a carbonated cementitious material suspension; treating the carbonated cementitious material suspension by a freeze-casting process to obtain a carbonated cementitious material coagulation with layered structure; treating the carbonated cementitious material coagulation with the layered structure by a freeze-drying process to obtain a carbonated cementitious material with layered structure; treating the carbonated cementitious material with layered structure by a carbonization process to obtain an artificial nacre material with layered structure. The obtained artificial nacre material with layered structure has higher fracture toughness and durability, and the preparation method has the advantages of low energy consumption, carbon dioxide fixation and environmental friendliness.

The present invention refers to a process for the preparation of an aqueous solution comprising at least one earth alkali hydrogen carbonate and its uses. The process is carried out in a reactor system that comprises a tank (1) equipped with a stirrer (2) and at least one filtering device (4).

The present invention refers to a process for the preparation of an aqueous solution comprising at least one earth alkali hydrogen carbonate and its uses.

The present invention concerns a process for the preparation of flocculated filler particles, wherein at least two aqueous suspensions of at least one filler material and at least one flocculating additive are combined.

The present disclosure generally relates to methods of preparing spherical salt particles for industrial, medical, and other uses. The methods can include combining the angular salt particles with a quantity of finishing media, for example, into a receptacle. Thereafter, the angular salt particles and the finishing media can be moved or agitated until the angular salt particles have a desired sphericity.

Methods for reducing moisture content of alkaline earth metal carbonate may include introducing alkaline earth metal carbonate having a moisture content ranging from about 0.1% by mass to about 10% by mass into a primary crusher and operating the primary crusher to obtain alkaline earth metal carbonate particles having a top cut particle size d.sub.90 of 90 microns or less. The method may also include introducing the particles into a primary grinder and operating the primary grinder to obtain reduced-size alkaline earth metal carbonate particles having a median particle size d.sub.50 of about 60 microns or less. The method may further include introducing the reduced-size particles into a classifier mill and operating the classifier mill to obtain further-reduced-size alkaline earth metal carbonate particles having a median particle size d.sub.50 of about 12 microns or less, and a moisture content of about 0.15% by mass or less.

The present invention relates to a method for the production of granules comprising surface-reacted calcium carbonate, as well as to the granules obtained thereby and their use.
