Abstract
Selenite was boiled in LiCl solutions of different concentrations (1 M, 2 M, 3 M, 4 M and 5M) at the respective boiling temperatures and atmospheric pressure. The products were subjected to X-ray diffraction analysis, qualitative infrared analysis, differential thermal analysis, thermogravimetric analysis and microscopic examination. The product obtained in the 1 M LiCl solution was the ?-form of calcium sulphate hemihydrate (?-CaSO4.0.5H2O). In more concentrated LiCl solutons, 2M and 3 M, the ?-form of calcium sulphate hemihydrate (?-CaSO4.0.5H2O) was formed. The product obtained in the 4MLiCl solution was also the ?-form of calcium sulphate hemihydrate, only mixed with the ?-form of calcium sulphate (?-CaSO4). Finally, in the 5 M LiCl solution the ?-form of calcium sulphate or ?-anhydrite was formed.
