Abstract: Present invention relates to a multi-stage method for preparing high purity calcium carbonate precipitate from wastes and by-products containing high concentrations of calcium and silica. The calcium and silica rich material is introduced into a stirred reactor containing the extraction solution. The calcium rich solution, produced in the reactor, is separated from residual material and a gas containing carbon dioxide is passed into the said solution to precipitate calcium carbonate. The calcium carbonate precipitate is then separated from solution. The recovered solution and residual material, from previous extraction stage; is stirred in a reactor to further extract calcium from the residual material. After separating the solids from solution, carbon dioxide containing gas is introduced into solution to again precipitate calcium carbonate. Calcium carbonate precipitate is then separated from solution. The residual material produced from the process is characterized by high silica content.
