SOLUTION: In the first process, milk of lime is partially carbonated by a semi-batch carbonation method or the spindle-shaped calcium carbonate crystal (seed crystal) is mixed to the milk of lime in such a manner that 5-30% of the milk of lime comes to a carbonated state. In the succeeding second process, the milk of lime which is partially carbonated or is mixed with the seed crystal is brought into contact with carbon dioxide or a gas containing carbonating gas and is continuously carbonated while being maintained at pH 10-12 and calcium carbonate is recovered from the overflow. In the first process, the carbonation initiation temperature is preferably kept at 20-60 deg.C.

2. Description of the Related Art Light calcium carbonate synthesized by a carbonation reaction of milk of lime has been used in a wide range of applications such as papermaking pigments and fillers for rubber and plastics. In particular, spindle-shaped calcium carbonate has a low abrasion property as compared with prismatic calcium carbonate. For example, when used as a pigment for filling paper, the spindle-shaped calcium carbonate can reduce abrasion of a papermaking wire or the like, and thus has high utility. The production method of this spindle-shaped calcium carbonate is generally a semi-batch type in which carbonation is performed while blowing carbon dioxide gas into a reaction tank containing milk of lime.

The reaction in the second step mainly involves the carbonation by the permeation of carbon dioxide gas into particles (products) having calcium carbonate formed on the surface and calcium hydroxide inside as shown in FIG. This is the diffusion-controlling step in the product layer that proceeds. In this diffusion-controlling step in the product layer, even if the amount of carbon dioxide gas held up is increased, the carbonation rate slows down and the pH decreases. This makes it difficult to produce the desired spindle-shaped calcium carbonate. Therefore, in the second step, the production of spindle-shaped calcium carbonate is promoted by controlling the pH by a continuous reaction.

That is, in the second step, the pH in the reactor is adjusted to 10 to
It is controlled in the range of 12, preferably 11 to 12. By setting the pH to 10 or more, the production of cubic calcium carbonate can be suppressed, and spindle calcium carbonate can be selectively produced. If the pH exceeds 12, the possibility that unreacted calcium hydroxide remains in the particles increases.

The temperature in the reaction tank is preferably 20 to 60 ° C. If the temperature is lower than 20 ° C., the rate of formation of cubic calcium carbonate increases, and if the temperature exceeds 60 ° C., the absorption efficiency of carbon dioxide decreases. The residence time varies depending on the capacity of the reaction tank, the amount of blown gas, and the like, but is usually about 15 to 25 minutes. The calcium carbonate precipitated by the reaction under such conditions is continuously taken out of the reaction tank as a slurry.
