Preparation of α-Calcium Sulfate Hemihydrate from Phosphogypsum in CaCl2 Solution under Atmospheric Pressure

Article Preview

Abstract:

With the growing demand of phosphoric fertilizer a great quantity of phosphogypsum (PG) was produced in China.To utilization of PG in an energy-saving way,the phase transition of PG from DH to α-HH in CaCl2 solution under atmospheric pressure was conducted, the reaction time of phase transition was significantly shortened by higher reaction temperature and CaCl2 content of the mixtures. The suitable temperature and CaCl2 addition of the mixture were 95 °C and 24 wt.% respectively, morphology of the corresponding dehydration product phase is rod-like shape. Preparation of α-HH from PG in hot CaCl2 solution at atmospheric pressure was based on dissolution- crystallization mechanism. The increasing addition of CaCl2 in solution makes the solubility of CaSO4 decrease due to the common ion effect.
