Abstract
The kinetics of crystallization of calcium oxalate monohydrate was studied in the presence of polyacrylate, and the growth of both this salt and the trihydrate was investigated in the presence of polyasparatic acid, polyglutamic acid, and heparin. We monitored the crystallization reactions either by following the change in lattice-ion concentrations as a function of time or by maintaining constant supersaturation via the replacement of lattice ions during the experiments. In addition, the crystallization reactions of calcium oxalate monohydrate, dihydrate, and trihydrate were studied in the presence of urine fractions (5%, v/v) separated by molecular weight in the range of 1 000–50 000 Da from whole urine.
