In this paper, the effect of ionic liquids on the CaCO₃ crystal growth has been studied for the first time. The obtained CaCO₃ crystals were charactered by the X-ray diffraction and scanning electron micrographs. The results showed that the control ability of ionic liquids for CaCO₃ crystals growth was dependent on the counter anion very much.
