Crystallization of alpha-calcium sulphate hemihydrate by aqueous reaction of calcium chloride with sulphuric acid
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The crystallization of alpha-calcium sulphate hemihydrate with simultaneous regeneration of HCl by controlling the reaction of H 2SO4 (2.6M-8M) with concentrated CaCl2 (1-3.5M) solution at 80°C was investigated. The research included 3 studies: (a) study of the kinetics and mechanism of CaSO4 dehydrate (DH) conversion to hemihydrate (HH) and anhydrite (AH) in variable composition CaCl2 -HCl media; (b) reactive crystallization of alpha-hemihydrate in a semi-batch reactor configuration following the LaMer Diagram concept; and (c) the study of crystal growth and metal uptake by seeded crystallization with and without the presence of several metal chloride salts. According to the first study, AH is the only stable phase in the range of electrolyte concentration and temperature investigated with DH and HH being either metastable or unstable. In the absence of CaCl2 and at 3M HCl concentration or higher DH converts directly to AH. Maintenance of 0.3M or higher CaCl2 concentration was found to render hemihydrate metastable hence making its production feasible. Solubility estimation of three CaSO4 phases with the aid of OLI Stream Analyser software helped to explain the observed phase transition sequence. SEM characterization further revealed the transition from DH to HH to be governed by the topochemical mechanism.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
