Effects of Salts on the Formation of $alpha$-Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrated from by-Product Gypsum of Phosphoric Acid Process at Hydrothermal Condition

ABSTRACT

The effects of salts such as aluminum sulfate as inorganic salt(2-4%), and sodium salts of citrate, tartrate, succinate, potassium tartrate and gelatin as organic salts(0.1%) on the formation of ${alpha}$-calcium sulfate hemihydrate from by-product gypsum of phosphoric acid process under hydrothermal condition at 123$^{circ}C$ and 133$^{circ}C$ were investigated. Aluminum sulfate solution exhibited the catalystic effected on the crystallization of ${alpha}$-calcium sulfate hemihydrate of which was assumed in the prismatic form, and organic salts solution exhibited little effect on the catalystic action to the crystallization, than inorganic salts. In the acidic solution with sulfuric acid(pH=2), needle like crystal of calcium sulfate hemihydrate was obtained. Hydrothermal process with aluminum sulfate solution also showed certain amounts of impurity removal such as phosphorus penataoxide from calcium sulfate hemihydrate.
