Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a surface-reacted precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) pigment having an insoluble, at least partially crystalline calcium salt on its surface. In the process of the present invention, a PCC containing pigment is contacted with H3O+ ions and a solubilized anion in an aqueous medium in the presence of excess solubilized calcium ions to form the surface-reacted PCC having an insoluble, at least partially crystalline calcium salt of the anion formed on its surface.

Abstract: A method of magnetizing a permanently magnetizable element associated with a magnetic field sensor structure includes generating a test magnetic field penetrating the magnetic field sensor structure and the permanently magnetizable element, detecting the magnetic field and providing a test signal based on a magnetic field through the magnetic field sensor structure, aligning the test magnetic field and the magnetic field sensor structure with the permanently magnetizable element to each other, until the test signal reaches a set value corresponding to a predetermined magnetized field distribution with respect to the magnetic field sensor structure, and generating a magnetizing field for permanently magnetizing the element to be permanently magnetized, wherein the magnetizing field corresponds to the predetermined magnetic field distribution within a tolerance range.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the preparation of a pigment comprising a surface-reacted precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC), the process comprising the steps of a) providing at least one precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC)-comprising pigment; b) providing H3O+ ions; c) providing at least one anion being capable of forming water-insoluble calcium salts, said anion being solubilised in an aqueous medium; d) contacting said PCC-comprising pigment, with said H3O+ ions and with said solubilised anions in an aqueous medium to form a slurry of surface-reacted PCC-comprising pigment, wherein said surface-reacted PCC comprises an insoluble, at least partially crystalline calcium salt of said anion formed on the surface of the PCC; wherein excess solubilised calcium ions are provided during step d). The present invention further relates to a slurry of surface-reacted PCC comprising pigment obtained by this process, its use as well as the surface-reacted PCC contained in the slurry.
