Introduction
Oolitic aragonite is the purest form of calcium
carbonate precipitated in the oceans naturally.
It has its orthorhombic and bipyramidal
crystalline structure. The needle shape in their
structure gives more practical advantages.
4
Oolitic Aragonite Sands
These oolitic aragonite sands are formed by the
carbon dioxide present in them. The carbon
dioxide formed from the photosynthesis combines
with green algae which are available in waters.
The precipitate caco3 will be formed at the rate
of 4 billion per year in the banks of Bahamas.
5
How oolitic aragonites are formed?
Whitings is the process which exist behind the
formation of oolitic aragonite. Whiting is the
phenomenon of calcium carbonate precipitation
created with the help of photosynthesis process.
Fishes in the waters disturbes the water bottom
and gets the sandy structures move to the upper
waters.
6
How carbons are taken during aragonite creation?
Mineralisation of carbon dioxide to calcium
carbonate with the help of phytoplanktons is the
process besides the oolitic aragonite formation.
The phytoplanktons may be picoplankton or any
green algae. Photosynthesis acts as the major
process to obtain both forms of carbon
sequestration by cyanobacteria.
7
Conclusion
Picoplankton predominately called as the
cyanobacteria seasonally enters the water. After
photosynthesis and calcification process it
combines with the carbon dioxide present in the
environment. It makes our environment clean as it
eliminates the carbon dioxide during oolitic
aragonite creation.
