Abstract
A model is presented for the solvent mediated batchwise recrystallization of hemihydrate into dehydrate. The model takes into account the rates of dissolution of hemihydrate and of growth of gypsum. These rates result from the driving forces (under- and supersaturation) that are influenced by temperature and acid concentrations, and from the rate constants, which are mainly affected by impurities. Secondary nucleation can be neglected with respect to the observed recrystallization rates. The presented model can also be applied more generally.
