Anhydrite solubility in H2O–NaCl solutions was measured at 6–14 kbar, 600–800 C and NaCl mole fractions (XNaCl) of 0–0 3 in piston–cylinder apparatus. Solubilities were determined by weight changes of natural anhydrite in perforated Pt envelopes confined with fluid in larger Pt capsules. In initially pure H2O at 10 kbar and 800 C, CaSO4 concentration is low (0 03molal), though much larger than ...

Fine powders of brushite CaHPO4·2H2O, ardealite Ca(HPO4)x(SO4)1−x·2H2O (Ca(HPO4)0.5(SO4)0.5·2H2O), and calcium sulfate dihydrate CaSO4·2H2O—all containing sodium chloride NaCl as a reaction by-product—were synthesized from 0.5 M aqueous solution CaCl2, hydrophosphate Na2HPO4 and/or Na2SO4. Powder (Ca(HPO4)0.5(SO4)0.5·2H2O) was by precipitation CaCl2 mixed-anionic simultaneously the hydrogen pho...

Antibiotic-loaded bone cements, including poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) and calcium sulfate (CaSO4), are often used for treatment of orthopaedic infections involving Staphylococcus spp., although the effectiveness of this treatment modality may be limited due to the emergence of antimicrobial resistance and/or the development of biofilms within surgical sites. Gallium(III) is an iron analog ...

Successful healing of a nine-year tibial nonunion resistant to six previous surgical procedures was achieved by tissue engineering. We used autologous bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) expanded to 5 x 10(6) cells after three weeks' tissue culture. Calcium sulphate (CaSO4) in pellet form was combined with these cells at operation. The nonunion was clinically and radiologically healed two months ...

Syngenite (K2Ca(SO4)2 ⋅ H2O) presents an effective hydration activator (accelerator) for anhydrite (CaSO4) applied in construction systems. The current synthesis relies on co-precipitation of K2SO4 and CaSO4 2H2O produces large amounts waste water holding excess potassium sulfate. Therefore, this method is deemed ineffective, uneconomical environmentally unfriendly. Moreover, it crystals (ℓ ∼5-...

abstract the objective of current research is to investigate distribution patterns of vegetation types and its relation with environmental factors in southern margin of haj aligholi kavir of damghan. three vegetation types including halecnemum strobilaceum, sedlitzia rosmarinus and artemisia sieberi were studied in marginal arid regions and uplands of the study area. firstly, geographic locatio...
