Transformation pathways from CALCIUM SULFITE (cas 15091-91-5) to α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate in concentrated CaCl2 solutions

The disposal of sulfite-rich flue gas desulfurization (FGD) scrubber sludge has been a tough problem. The sludge now finds its prospective utilization way by being transformed into α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate (α-HH). At low pH, atmospheric pressure and 95.0 °C, the CALCIUM SULFITE (cas 15091-91-5) hemihydrate (CSH) is oxidized and then changed to α-HH via calcium sulfate dihydrate (DH) in 2.50–3.50 m CaCl2 solutions (i.e. CSH → DH → α-HH). Direct transformation from CSH to α-HH (i.e. CSH → α-HH) occurs in a 4.00 m CaCl2 solution. The formation of DH at low CaCl2 concentrations is probably attributed to faster heterogeneous nucleation. The increment in CaCl2 molality lowers the water activity, and enlarges the supersaturation gap between DH and α-HH nucleation, which makes α-HH nucleation more competitive. Higher CaCl2 concentration favors the α-HH formation, and nucleation kinetics accounts for the transformation pathway evolution. The preparation of α-HH from the sulfite-rich FGD sludge is of great sense to electric power industry and environmental conservation.
