Aeromatt
CAS No.: 471-34-1
- Molecular Formula: CaCO₃
- Molecular Weight: 100.09 g/mol
Chemical type
- Inorganic carbonate mineral
- Alkaline earth metal salt
- Inorganic calcium salt
Key properties
- Low solubility in water
- Thermodynamically stable solid
- Long-term carbon storage form
- High calcium content (~40% elemental calcium) and low cost
- Weakly alkaline salt with poor solubility in neutral intestinal pH
- Dissociates into Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻ in the gut, locally raising pH and potentially disrupting microbial niches
- Associated with gastrointestinal side effects (constipation, abdominal discomfort), possible cardiovascular risk, and kidney stones
- Solid carbon storage product in Direct Ocean Capture (DOC)
- Precipitated from carbonate-rich streams after pH elevation
- Stored on land for durable (>1,000 years) carbon sequestration
- Primary oral calcium supplement for osteoporosis prevention and treatment
- Intended to maintain bone mass and mineral density
- In senile osteoporosis models: minimal or no significant improvement in bone microarchitecture, trabecular parameters, osteogenic differentiation of BMMSCs, or bone formation rates (MAR, BFR/BS); instead exacerbates age-related gut dysbiosis, reduces intestinal barrier integrity (↓ ZO-1, Claudin-1, Occludin protein levels), increases gut permeability, elevates proinflammatory cytokines (TNF-α, IL-17A), and worsens systemic inflammation
Classification by use
- Chemicals used for long-term carbon storage
- Chemicals used in mineral carbonation
- Chemicals used as solid sequestration media
- Chemicals used in nutritional/dietary supplements
- Chemicals used for osteoporosis prevention and bone health maintenance
- Calcium supplements (inorganic salts)
