Abstract:
Procedures to obtain calcium oxalate monohydrate, dihydrate and trihydrate are presented and discussed. The influence of several additives and conditions in the formation of calcium oxalate dihydrate crystals are comparatively evaluated. It seems that the presence of colloidal phosphate favours the formation of calcium oxalate dihydrate crystals through heterogeneous nucleation.
