In this study, calcite was tamed by using traditional methods. Crystal
structure of calcite in phase shifts was analyzed after burning it in
+300º C, +500 º C, +800 º C, +1200 º C, and +1400 ºC by using
Shimadzu XRD-7000 X-ray diffractometer, HA1001, and TTK-450
apparatus. Moreover, elements contained in traditionally tamed
calcite with enrichment were determined.
After taming, calcite turned to bright yellow, flour like soft substance
with bitter and sour taste. Results of phase analysis at various
temperatures were as following: At +300º C, CaCO3 -84.23%,
CaC2-15.77%; at +500 º C, CaCO3 -58.86%, CaC2-14.14%; at
+800 º C, CaCO3-23.56%, CaC2 -76.44%, at +1200 º C, CaCO3 -
14% CaC2 -86% and at +1400 º C, CaCO3 -28.11%, CaC2 -
71.89%.
By spectrophotometer following elements were determined in tamed
calcite with enrichment: Ca-36.12%, Ti-0.0005%, Ni-0.001%, Cu-
0.0003%, Mn-0.03%, and Sr0.015%.
