Investigation of organic desulfurization additives affecting the calcium sulfate crystals formation
2017
In the study, the optimal experimental conditions for gypsum crystals formation
were 323K, 300rpm stirring speed. The major impurities of Mg2+, Al3+,
and Fe3+ were found to inhibit calcium sulfate crystals formation. Fe3+ caused the
strongest inhibition, followed by Mg2+ and Al3+. The influence of
desulfurization additives on the gypsum crystals formation was explored with the
properties of moisture content, particle size distribution and crystal
morphology. The organic desulfurization additives of adipic acid, citric acid,
sodium citrate and benzoic acid were investigated. Citric acid and sodium
citrate were found to improve the quality of gypsum. Moisture
contents were reduced by more than 50 %, gypsum particle sizes were respectively
enlarged by 9.1 % and 22.8 %,induction time extend from 4.3 min (blank) to
5.3 min and 7.8 min, and crystal morphology trended to be thicker.
