The most basic requirement for the precipitation of calcium carbonate (CaCO 3) minerals, calcite, and aragonite is that the product of the concentrations of calcium [Ca 2+] and carbonate ions [CO 3 2−] exceeds the solubility product of calcite (Equation 1) and aragonite, respectively.
In order for carbonate mineral precipitation to occur, calcium ions are supplied from overlying seawater, while the concentration of bicarbonate ions is determined by the concentration of total dissolved inorganic carbon and the in situ pH (Zeebe and Wolf-Gladrow, 2001).The saturation state (Ω) of the pore fluid informs the likelihood of …

This review hinges on the synthesis of calcium carbonate particles (aragonite, calcite and vaterite phases) using methodologies such as: gaseous diffusion and reactants mixing. The synthesis of the particles involves some variables which play a decisive role in the formation of calcium carbonate particles.
MICP occurs as a by-product of bacterial metabolism, which creates a microenvironment that favours the precipitation of calcium cations and carbonate anions in the form of mineral calcium carbonate, predominantly calcite. This process is dependent on changes in pH, ion concentrations and availability of cell surface nucleation sites .
Microbial-induced calcite precipitation uses several organisms like bacteria, algae, and fungi. Microorganisms which have the property to hydrolyse urea into ammonium and can precipitate calcium into calcium carbonate.
Addition of guar gum also accelerated the rate and enhanced the amount of calcium carbonate precipitation. Moreover, the precipitate consisted of a higher amount of calcite—known to be the most stable form of calcium carbonate .
