Abstract
The effect of acetaminophen, a well known analgesic and fever-reducing medicine, on the calcium carbonate crystal growth was investigated under plethostatic conditions. The calcification rates measured was reduced by 9.1-63.2% in the presence of acetaminophen. Kinetic analysis according to a Langmuir-type adsorption isotherm lead to the calculation of an affinity constant K (aff) = 8.33 x 10(2 )dm(3 )mol(-1). The apparent order found from kinetic data was two suggesting a surface diffusion controlled spiral growth mechanism.Entities:
