Table 2.

Data set for the optimization runs.

Run Factors Response
Citric Acid (wt %) CO2 Flow Rate (10−4 Nm3/s) Stirring Rate (rps) CaCO3 Particle Size (a) (nm)
P9 0.1 1.7 13.3 33
P10 1.0 3.3 13.3 33
P11 0.55 2.5 20 (b)
P12 0.1 3.3 26.7 (b)
P13 1.0 1.7 26.7 (b)

(a) Mean diameter as determined by image analysis from SEM micrographs. (b) Reversible flocculation with short term colloidal stability (particle size not measured; similar appearance as in P9 and P10).
