Abstract

Thermodynamic, kinetic, and structural approaches were combined to reveal the major factors determining the phase formation in aqueous-salt systems in which crystal hydrates of different compositions can be formed. The solution supersaturation indices with respect to magnesium phosphate crystal hydrates of different compositions were calculated by modeling of chemical equilibria, and the thermodynamic probability of the formation of their solid phases in aqueous-salt systems of different compositions was refined using these data. Primary precipitation of metastable struvite under the conditions of its possible competition with other, more stable phases was substantiated. A decrease in the content of ammonium ions in struvite was accounted for by isomorphic substitution of NH4+ ions in the solid phase by the xН+–xʹН2O group without changes in the struvite structure, and the possibility of reverse saturation of struvite with ammonium ions by ion exchange was demonstrated.
