Abstract: The effects of reaction temperature, reaction time, liquid-solid ratio, pH value and Na2SO4 mass fraction on the generation of α-CaSO4·0.5H2O were investigated using Na2SO4 solution as the reaction medium. The results show that α-CaSO4·0.5H2O crystals with an average length of 46.0 μm, an average aspect ratio of 17.23 and a homogeneous morphology are prepared under the conditions of Na2SO4 mass fraction of 12.5%, liquid-solid ratio of 5∶1, pH value of 7, reaction temperature of 97 ℃ and reaction time of 4 h. The method of chloride-free salt solution under atmospheric pressure overcomes the drawbacks of chloride ion corrosion of industrial equipment and environmental pollution, providing important technical support for the high value utilization of phosphogypsum.

Key words: atmospheric pressure, chlorine-free salt, sodium sulfate, α-calcium sulfate hemihydrate, homogeneous morphology, high value utilization
