Casein-Assisted Biomineralization of Calcium Carbonate Microspheres For Enhanced Surface and Adsorption Properties

The deposited data include results obtained in studies on the formation of CaCO₃-MS in presence and absence of protein casein. Their characterization by FTIR, DRIFT, SEM, TEM, XRD, BET analysis and H2O adsorption and desorption analysis.Abbreviations: Casein-calcium carbonate- Microsphere (Casein-CaCO₃-MS), Calcium carbonate- Microsphere (CaCO₃-MS), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron microscopy (TEM), Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET) analysis, Diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFT)
