Phosphogypsum is one of the hottest issues in the field of environmental solid waste
treatment, with complex and changeable composition. Meanwhile, phosphogypsum …

The solution-mediated formation of calcium sulfate minerals, ie gypsum, anhydrite and
bassanite, is a common process in both natural and engineered settings. It plays a key role …

Gypsum scaling via crystallization is a major obstacle limiting the applications of membrane-
based technologies and heat exchangers in engineered systems. Herein, we perform the …

Nucleation is a key step in the crystallization of solution. For regulating and controlling this
process, it is thus critical to understand the nucleation mechanism under different …

Gypsum (CaSO4· 2H2O) is the most common sulfate mineral on Earth and is also found on
Mars. It is an evaporitic mineral that predominantly precipitates from brines. In addition to its …

True control over the morphology of gypsum crystals formed via homogeneous precipitation
from solution has rarely been reported in the literature. In this work, we have tested a large …

One of the major applications to be interested by the processes controlling the nucleation
(and growth) of minerals are the concrete and the gypsum industries. The available …

The cylindrical pores of track-etched membranes offer excellent environments for studying
the effects of confinement on crystallization as the pore diameter is readily varied and the …

This study investigated the crystallization kinetics and mechanisms of calcium carbonate
(CaCO3) in the presence of rare earth elements (REEs) including lanthanum (La) …

L-aspartic acid (L-Asp) was proposed as crystal modifier to regulate the morphology of
hemihydrate (HH) prepared from phosphogypsum (PG) in CaCl 2 solution. Effect of L-Asp on …
