摘要
The effect of uric acid seeds on calcium oxalate formation was studied at pH 4.50 and 37degreesC using a system providing constant supersaturation with respect to calcium oxalate and saturated in uric acid. In all cases the only solid-phase forming was identified as calcium oxalate monohydrate (COM). Kinetic analysis of the initial rates showed that they were proportional with the relative supersaturation with respect to calcium oxalate monohydrate. The linear dependence of the rate of precipitation of COM on uric acid suggested that growth is mediated through a surface diffusion controlled mechanism.
