Mechanochemical Synthesis of Calcium Oxalate

Ova studija prikazuje mehanokemijsku sintezu kalcijeva oksalata u planetarnom kugličnom mlinu, bez prisutnosti i uz prisutnost otapala. Dosadašnja istraživanja uglavnom su bila usmjerena na otopinsku sintezu kalcijeva oksalata. U ovom radu opisujemo drugačiji pristup, koji će donijeti nova saznanja o sintezi kristala kalcijeva oksalata, koje su uzrokovane utjecajem mehaničke energije. Cilj istraživanja je sinteza, identifikacija i karakterizacija pojedine oksalatne hidratne faze sintetizirane iz kalcijevih soli (klorida, nitrata i sulfata). Ispitivan je utjecaj brzine mljevenja i praćena je reakcija u ovisnosti o vremenu sinteze. Strukturalna i termička svojstva uzoraka ispitana su spektroskopijom FTIR i termogravimetrijskom analizom (TGA). Morfološke karakteristike kalcijeva oksalata te raspodjela veličine čestica određene su optičkom mikroskopijom i dinamičkim raspršenjem svjetlosti (DLS).

Previous research was primarily focused on calcium oxalate synthesis in solution. Here we report a different approach which may contribute to new findings in calcium oxalate crystal synthesis caused by an influence of mechanical energy. The aim of this study was synthesis, identification, and characterization of particular oxalate hydrate phase synthesized with calcium salts (chloride, nitrate and sulphate). The effects of grinding speed and reaction duration regarding the time of synthesis were investigated. Structural and thermal sample properties were studied by FTIR spectroscopy and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). Morphologic characteristics of calcium oxalate and size distribution were measured by optical microscopy and dynamic light scattering (DLS).
