Abstract
The influence of anhydrous uric acid (C5H4N4O3) on whewellite (CaC2O4.H2O) crystallization has been demonstrated at 4OoC, pH = 3.0 and 5.0. Increasing amounts of uric acid in solution reduce the number of whewellite crystals but increase their size. No heterogeneous nucleation or epitaxial growth of whewellite onto anhydrous uric acid was observed under the above experimental conditions.-F.C.
