Abstract
The influence of Na2HPO4·12H2O on the hydrothermal formation of hemihydrate calcium sulfate (CaSO4·0.5H2O) whiskers from dihydrate calcium sulfate (CaSO4·2H2O) at 135°C was investigated. Experimental results indicate that the addition of phosphorus accelerates the hydrothermal conversion of CaSO4·2H2O to CaSO4·0.5H2O via the formation of Ca3(PO4)2 and produces CaSO4·0.5H2O whiskers with thinner diameters and shorter lengths. Compared with the blank experiment without Na2HPO4·12H2O, the existence of minor amounts (8.65×10−4–4.36×10−3mol/L) of Na2HPO4·12H2O led to a decrease in the diameter of CaSO4·0.5H2O whiskers from 1.0–10.0 to 0.5–2.0μm and lengths from 70–300 to 50–200μm.
