BACKGROUNDThis work deals with the effect of several additives on the morphology of calcium sulfate dihydrate (DH) crystals, produced by reactive crystallization involving strong CaCl2-HCl solutions. Experiments were conducted at 40 degrees C under various conditions, namely homogeneous and seeded (heterogeneous) crystallization in CaCl2/HCl solutions ranging from very dilute (0.42molL(-1)/0.04molL(-1)) to very concentrated (1.8molL(-1)/6.3molL(-1)). RESULTSIn the absence of additives a distinct difference in crystal morphology was observed depending on solution composition. Homogeneously formed DH crystals from dilute solution were in the form of needles. DH crystals formed in concentrated acid solution were thick elongated plates. The most influential additives in concentrated solutions were CTAB (cetyltrimethylammoniumbromide), PAA (polyacrylic acid) and PVS (polyvinyl sulfonic acid). CTAB favoured formation of industrially interesting thick slab crystals. In contrast PAA favoured the formation of elongated and thinner crystals as a result of preferential crystal plane adsorption. PVS had a detrimental effect on DH crystal nucleation and growth explained by its polymeric structure. CONCLUSIONApart from PVS, CTAB and PAA no influence was seen for the majority of additives tested. This was attributed to lack of ionization caused by the highly acidic solutions.
