O. Sohnel et A. Rieger, PHASE-TRANSITION OF MAGNESIUM SULFITE HYDRATES IN AQUEOUS SUSPENSION, Crystal research and technology, 28(4), 1993, pp. 487-493
Solution mediated phase transitions in aqueous suspension (pH 9.5) of
MgSO3 hydrates were studied at 50, 60, 65, and 70-degrees-C for hexa-
to trihydrate and 25, 30, and 35-degrees-C for tri- to hexahydrate con
version. The former conversion is controlled by the diffusion growth o
f the new phase crystals whereas the latter process is controlled by b
oth the initial phase dissolution and the new phase growth.
