Industrial application of calcium carbonate in mineral paper production : master's thesis

Kalcijev karbonat sastavni je dio vapnenaca, krede i mramora, što ga čini jednim od najzastupljenijih materijala u svijetu. Također, kalcijev karbonat ima vrlo široku primjenu u raznim industrijama kao što su medicina, prehrambena industrija, poljoprivreda, šumarstvo, graditeljstvo, zaštita okoliša, kemijska industrija i mnoge druge. Ovaj diplomski rad će se koncentrirati na primjenu kalcijevog karbonata kao punilo u proizvodnji mineralnog papira. Mineralni papir ili poznatiji kao eng. „Stone paper“ ili „Rich mineral paper“ je pretežito napravljen od samo dva sastojka, fino mljevenog kalcijevog karbonata i plastike visoke gustoće.Calcium carbonate is an integral part of limestone, chalk and marble, making it one of the most abundant material in the world. Also, calcium carbonate has a very wide application in various industries such as pharmaceutics, food industry, agriculture, forestry, construction, environmental protection, chemical industry and many others. This thesis will concentrate on the application of calcium carbonate as a filler in the production of mineral paper. Mineral paper or better known as „Stone paper“ or „Rich mineral paper“ is mostly made of only two ingredients, finely ground calcium carbonate and high-density plastic
