Abstract:

Calcium sulfate hemihydrate used as raw material and sodium oxalate used as stabilizer,under the conditions of re-action temperature of 100 ℃ and reaction time of 20 minutes,the effect of sodium oxalate on the stability of calcium sulfate hemihydrate was investigated.The products were characterized by XRD,TG,ion beam cutting and SEM mapping.The experi-mental result implied that with the increase of sodium oxalate addition,the stability time of calcium sulfate hemihydrate was continuously extended.When the addition amount of sodium oxalate was 2.5%,the stability time of calcium sulfate hemihy-drate reached 120 min which was the longest.The characterization results showed that CaC2O4·H2O completely covered calci-um sulfate hemihydrate,and its mechanism was that sodium oxalate ionized C2O42- in water and precipitated with Ca2+ to form CaC2O4·H2O precipitation on the surface of calcium sulfate hemihydrate,so as to improve the stability of calcium sulfate hemihydrate in water.

Key words: calcium sulfate hemihydrate, sodium oxalate, chemical precipitation, morphology, hydration
