In this study, a simple wet encapsulation method was used to coat the nano calcium carbonate particles at the temperature of 802°C. Stearic acid was used as the coating agent at 3, 6 and 9 wt. Analysis of SEM images indicates that agglomeration can be reduced significantly by using 3wt amount of SA...
