Therefore, surface modification is a key process in functional calcium carbonate powder preperation. In this study, surface modification of calcium carbonate particles, obtained Ni?de region, using sodium stearate (SDS) and sodium oleate (SO) as modification agents incorporated with the simultaneous wet ultra-fine grinding in the laboratory horizontal stirred mill was investigated. The results indicate that the hydrophilic surface of calcium carbonate is turned into hydrophobic after modification with the reagents.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessCalcium carbonateHorizontal stirred millSurface modificationConference Object16696762-s2.0-84890741521N/A
