Calcium oxalate crystallization kinetics from calorimetric measurements
The kinetics of calcium oxalate monohydrate precipitation effected by mixing aqueous solutions of calcium chloride and sodium oxalate together in the stoichiometric ratio at 25 and 37 degrees C, were studied using an isoperibolic reaction twin calorimeter. A method for inferring the crystal growth kinetic parameters from experimental progress curve giving the time development of the integral heat evolved during the precipitation is suggested and verified. Results obtained for calcium oxalate monohydrate compare favourably with those obtained with conventional techniques for studying crystallization.
