Laboratory studies concerned with the effects of polymeric additives on the crystallization of calcium oxalate dihydrate and calcium oxalate monohydrate are described and the results obtained are discussed. These compounds are major components of scales formed in some Australian sugar mills. The studies involved the measurement of crystallization induction periods and rates, in the presence and absence of additives. Crystal morphologies were also examined. A range of experimental conditions were employed, from studies in pure solutions of the lattice ions to those more directly comparable with the mill operation.
