The search for literature data in the ternary systems M 2+ , Ca 2+ + SO 4 2-+ H 2 O (M ) Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) revealed a lack of data. A reason might be the difficulties of Ca analysis at high concentrated bivalent metal solutions. The solubility of gypsum was determined in MSO 4 solutions (M ) Mg, Mn, Co, Ni, Cu, Zn) over a broad concentration range at T ) 298.15 K and T ) 313.15 K. With increasing magnesium and heavy metal sulfate, respectively, the gypsum solubility decreases to a minimum and rises afterward to a maximum at about 1.2 mol MSO 4 /kg. Above that concentration, the solubility of gypsum decreases again until saturation with MSO 4 . At both temperatures and in the whole concentration range, no double salt formation was noticed. With increasing temperature, the solubility of gypsum increases also.
