Assembled structures of nanocrystals in polymer/calcium carbonate thin-film composites formed by the cooperation of chitosan and poly(aspartate)

Assembled structures of calcium carbonate (CaCO₃) nanocrystals have been examined for polymer/CaCO₃ thin-film composites synthesized through a self-organization process inspired by biomineralization. For the crystallization of CaCO₃, a thin-film matrix of chitosan has been used as a polymeric substrate. When the matrix is immersed into a supersaturated aqueous solution of CaCO₃ containing 1.4 × 10⁻³ wt % poly(aspartate) (PAsp), thin-film crystals of CaCO₃ are formed spontaneously. Three kinds of disklike films have been observed under a polarizing optical microscope. Electron diffraction analyses of each film have revealed that one is aragonite, displaying radial orientation of the c axes, and the others are vaterite, exhibiting different orientations. Detailed observation by scanning electron microscopy has clarified that these films are assemblies of crystalline particles 10–20 nm in size. The thin-film composites have been obtained over a PAsp concentration range of 4.4 × 10⁻⁴ to 1.0 × 10⁻² wt %. Vaterite formation becomes dominant when the concentration of PAsp is increased. © 2006 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. J Polym Sci Part A: Polym Chem 44: 5153–5160, 2006     

Effects of temperature and sodium carboxylate additives on mineralization of calcium oxalate in silica gel systems

Urolithiasis remains a major medical problem in China, especially in Guangdong Province in the southest of China[1]. A survey in Shenzhen city, the most southern city in China, showed the incidence of renal calculus was 4.87%, being 6.12% in the males and 4.07% in the females[2]. The prevalence of renal calculus has been more as the age advances and in the male population and so was in the less-educated population. The recurrence rate is more than 80%, with a moderate improvement by conventi…     

Conversion of phosphogypsum to potassium sulfate

Summary Solubility of calcium sulfate in concentrated aqueous chloride solutions is of particular significance in chloride hydrometallurgy and various crystallization processes, such as the production of potassium sulfate from phosphogypsum and potassium chloride. This paper examines an example of the second type of application in which gypsum and potassium chloride are reacted to form K₂SO₄. The solubility of phosphogypsum in aqueous solutions of KCl, HCl, and mixtures of both has first been measured at various temperatures and concentrations. The parameters investigated are HCl concentration up to 6M, KCl concentration up to 180 g L^-1 and temperature from 25 to 80°C. In addition, the influence of co-existing chloride salts, such as (HCl+KCl), on the solubility of calcium sulfate is estimated from 25 to 80°C. The solubility increases obviously with the temperature increment as it does initially with acid concentration, reaching a maximum of about 3M HCl, 130 g L^-1 KCl and then drops. At the same time, the solubility of CaSO₄·2H₂O decreases with increasing KCl concentration.

超重力场中微细晶须碳酸钙结晶过程及产品稳定性研究

在旋转填充床转子高速旋转产生的超重力场中，以MgCl12或H3PO4为晶形控制剂合成微细晶须碳酸钙，通过反应过程中pH值的变化以及针状晶种存在与否两种情形下晶体形貌的演变对结晶过程进行了研究，同时对产品粒子的稳定性进行了初步探讨．结果表明，无晶种存在时，微细晶须碳酸钙晶形的形成需要经历不规则外形-类纺锤形-晶须状-微细晶须状4个阶段；有晶种存在时，产品粒子倾向于在其表面或周围成核，最终所有粒子短轴与长径比趋向均匀；微细晶须碳酸钙粒子在陈化及干燥情形下表现出良好的稳定性．

Y^3＋,La^3＋对CaSO4：Eu^2＋发光性质的影响

用沉淀法合成了掺杂Y~(3 ),La~(3 )的CaSO_4:Eu~(2 )稀土发光材料,研究了材料的晶体结构和荧光光谱,根据实验结果,所制样品基本上属正交晶系、C_(2v)空间群,Eu离子在CaSO_4中的激发峰为基态到4f~65d(E_g),(T_(2g))激发态的跃迁;样品发射主峰位于383um,属于Eu~(2 )的~5P_(7/2)→~8S_(2/7)跃迁,说明样品中Eu离子主要以Eu~(2 )的形式存在。CaSO_4:RE(La,Y)本身没有荧光,Y~(3 ),La~(3 )掺入CaSO_4:Eu中未改变基质的晶型结构,但可增强CaSO_4:Eu中Eu~(2 )的荧光强度。
