Modelling of calcium sulphate solubility in concentrated multi-component sulphate solutions
نویسنده
چکیده
The chemistry of several calcium sulphate systems was successfully modelled in multi-component acid-containing sulphate solutions using he mixed solvent electrolyte (MSE) model for calculating the mean activity coefficients of the electrolyte species. The modelling involved the tting of binary mean activity, heat capacity and solubility data, as well as ternary solubility data. The developed model was shown to accurately redict the solubility of calcium sulphate from 25 to 95 ◦C in simulated zinc sulphate processing solutions containing MgSO4, MnSO4, Fe2(SO4)3, a2SO4, (NH4)2SO4 and H2SO4. The addition of H2SO4 results in a significant increase in the calcium sulphate solubility compared to that in water. y increasing the acid concentration, gypsum, which is a metastable phase above 40 ◦C, dehydrates to anhydrite, and the conversion results in a ecrease in the solubility of calcium sulphate. In ZnSO4–H2SO4 solutions, it was found that increasing MgSO4, Na2SO4, Fe2(SO4)3 and (NH4)2SO4 oncentrations do not have a pronounced effect on the solubility of calcium sulphate. From a practical perspective, the model is valuable tool for ssessing calcium sulphate solubilities over abroad temperature range and for dilute to concentrated multi-component solutions. 2007 Elsevier B.V.

The CEMHYD3D model has been extended at the University of Twente in last ten years. At present the cement hydration model is extended for the use of gypsum. Although gypsum was present in the model already, the model was not suitable for high contents of gypsum and did not include the transitions between the different calcium sulphate phases (anhydrite, hemihydrate and gypsum). Besides that gyp...
