Natural Calcium Carbonate is used in paper and plastic fillers, coatings and paints. It is also used in cement, is converted to quick-lime (calcium oxide) and slaked lime (calcium hydroxide). Ground calcium carbonate is slightly basic and can be used to neutralize combustion vapors or increase the pH in water or soils. Calcium carbonate is used in the production of calcium oxide as well as toothpaste and has seen a resurgence as a food preservative and color retainer, when used in or with products such as organic apples. Calcium carbonate is used therapeutically as phosphate binder in patients on maintenance haemodialysis.
