Crystallization kinetics experiment of calcium sulfate dehydrates, which is prepared by bittern under 20°C and 120r/min conditions, is carried out. According to the results of the experimental data, nucleation densityn0of gypsum crystals is proportional to the residence time, and the rate of crystal growth lineGis inversely proportional to the residence time. Meanwhile, the crystallization kinetics formula is derived to be:B0= 5.78×102G0.87.

The influence of stabilizer on the crystal shape and stability of hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers was investigated in detail. Morphology, surface group and phase composition of stabilized hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers were characterized by means of SEM, FTIR and XRD, and then effect mechanism was discussed. The results showed that the absorption state of sodium oleate will be different with respectively additive amount which cause whiskers shape and stability to change, and that the stability of hemihydrate calcium sulfate whiskers can be achieved without affecting crystal growth by adding agents in different steps.

A seeded crystal growth technique has been used to study the influence of solution pH and temperature ranging from 25 to 50 °C on the performance of polymers of varying functional groups as calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4•2H2O, gypsum) crystal growth inhibitors. Results indicate that at constant temperature and at a constant solution pH, crystallization in the presence of polyacrylic acids is preceded by an initial slow growth reaction, hereafter called induction period, following which crystal growth of gypsum proceeds with a rate close to that in pure supersaturated solution. Results suggest that at a constant pH, polyacrylic acid concentration, molecular weight, and temperature greatly affect the duration of induction period. Kinetic data collected as a function of solution pH in the range 2.5 to 9.0 suggest that solution pH has a marked effect on the induction period. The observed dependence of induction period on solution pH may be explained in terms of the degree of ionization of polyacrylic acid. Among the polymers of varying functional groups studied, i.e. carboxyl, sulfonate, acrylamide, dimethyldiallylammonium, etc., only those polymers having carboxyl group showed marked inhibitory activity for the growth of gypsum crystals.
