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 …

Calcium sulfate minerals such as gypsum play important roles in natural and industrial
processes, but their precipitation mechanisms remain largely unexplored. We used time …

This investigation aimed to produce a new composited catalyst from a waste chalk powder, a
waste generated by the construction industry, to produce biodiesel from sunflower oil. The …

Calcium sulfate phases are among the most dominant evaporitic minerals and occur in large
amounts both on Earth and Mars. In addition, they find broad application across various …

The effects of antiscalants on mitigating the potential for membrane scaling by calcite and
gypsum, respectively, were investigated during the direct contact membrane distillation …

Despite much experimentation precipitation of anhydrite from solution in conditions similar to
those occurring in sedimentary environments has not yet been reproduced in the laboratory …

abstract Water desalination is an energy-intensive process needed in many parts of the
world to provide fresh water for drinking, agriculture, and industry. The energy for …

Scaling is a very common and serious problem in industries. The formation of scale is
enabled by the presence of dissolved salts in a supersaturated solution. The precipitation of …

Bassanite (calcium sulfate hemihydrate) is one of the most extensively used inorganic
binders in construction applications. Current industrial processes for the large-scale …

Crystallization of calcium sulfate dihydrate (CaSO4· 2H2O, gypsum) in sodium chloride
solutions has been studied in the presence of magnesium ion. It was shown that Mg2+ has …
