Calcium Carbonate
Calcium carbonate is a common mineral compound, appearing as a white, odorless, and tasteless powder. It exists in two primary forms with distinct properties: Ground Calcium Carbonate (GCC): Derived from naturally occurring limestone or marble, and Precipitated Calcium Carbonate (PCC): Produced through a controlled chemical process for higher purity and finer particle size.
