摘要
Little attention has thus far been paid to the potential effect of solution composition on the hydrothermal crystallization of calcium sulfate whiskers prepared from flue-gas desulfurization（FGD） gypsum.When purified FGD gypsum was used as raw material,the morphology and phase structure of the hydrothermal products grown in pure water,H2SO4-H2O,NaCl-H2O,and H2SO4-NaCl-H2O solutions as well as the solubility of purified FGD gypsum in these solutions were investigated.The results indicate that calcium sulfate whiskers grow favorably in the H2SO4-NaCl-H2O system.When prepared using 10-70 g NaCl/kg gypsum-0.01 M H2SO4-H2O at 130 ℃ for 60 min,the obtained calcium sulfate whiskers had diameters ranging from 3 to 5 ｜xm and lengths from 200 to 600 ｜xm,and their phase structure was calcium sulfate hemihydrate（HH）.Opposing effects of sulfuric acid and sodium chloride on the solubility of the purified FGD gypsum were observed.With the co-presence of sulfuric acid and sodium chloride in the reaction solution,the concentrations of Ca2＋ and SO42- can be kept relatively stable,which implies that the crystallization of the hydrothermal products can be controlled by changing the concentrations of sulfuric acid and sodium chloride.
