From the left: hemihydrate grain (in red) reconstructed from PCT segmentation showing the change in morphology due to dissolution. (a) Plot of the volume of the hemihydrate grain (red line) and gypsum grain (blue line). The range of segmentation is based on the values of the volume and surface area obtained by dilating and eroding the segmented grain. (b) Plot of the surface area, normalized for the volume, of the hemihydrate grain (red line) and the gypsum grain (blue line). The segmentation range is obtained in the same way as for (a). Gypsum grain (in blue) reconstructed from PCT segmentation showing the growth of the crystal during the hydration process of the sample. |
