Room temperature bio-engineered multifunctional carbonates for CO₂ sequestration and valorization.

ABSTRACT: This contribution reports, for the first time, on an entirely green bio-engineering approach for the biosynthesis of single phase crystalline 1-D nano-scaled calcite CaCO₃. This was validated using H₂O as the universal solvent and natural extract of Hyphaene thebaica fruit as an effective chelating agent. In this room temperature green process, CaCl₂ and CO₂ are used as the unique source of Ca and CO₃ respectively in view of forming nano-scaled CaCO₃ with a significant shape anisotropy and an elevated surface to volume ratio. In terms of novelty, and relatively to the reported scientific and patented literature in relation to the fabrication of CaCO₃ by green nano-chemistry, the current cost effective room tempera
