Cover Story: Calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) is a widely used inorganic mineral, with increasing demand for its nanoform due to enhanced physical and functional properties. Among various synthesis techniques, mechanochemical milling offers a solvent-free process, but faces challenges such as incomplete reactions, prolonged milling durations, excessive diluent usage, and inefficient polymorph control. Post-milling heat treatment has emerged as an effective strategy to enhance crystallinity and regulate particle size. This study explores how post-milling heat treatment influences the crystallinity, polymorphism, and particle size distribution of nano-CaCO₃ synthesized using minimal NaCl diluent. Optimizing both milling intensity and heating duration, it is possible to make this route more efficient, scalable, and suitable for advanced industrial applications. View this paper
