The effect of different types of metallic salt additives (Nab>2b>COb>3b>, Lib>2b>COb>3b>, Kb>2b>COb>3b>, Nab>2b>SOb>4b>, NaF, NaCl, ZnSOb>4b>, Ca(NOb>3b>)b>2b>, Csb>2b>COb>3b> and Alb>2b>(SOb>4b>)b>3b>) on direct sulfation of calcium carbonate is investigated. The experiments were carried out in a thermogravimetric analyzer under isothermal conditions at temperatures between 700 and 875°C. An ultrapure calcium carbonate sample with a mean size of 17 μm and a specific surface area of 0.43 m2 g−1 was used. From the sulfation tests some additives (Nab>2b>COb>3b>, Lib>2b>COb>3b>, Kb>2b>COb>3b>, Nab>2b>SOb>4b>, NaF, NaCl) enhanced the sulfation capacity and sulfation rate with respect to the undoped sample. All these additives correspond to alkaline compounds. The effect of additives on the decomposition of CaSOb>4b> in sulfated samples was also investigated. In this case nonisothermal experiments with a heating rate of 4 K min−1 were performed in a COb>2b> atmosphere. The results indicate that presence of some additives has a catalytic effect on sulfate decomposition.
