A laboratory bench was set up to simulate the desulfurization reaction under different mass concentration of magnesium ion, and to comparatively study the effects of the ion flow rate on the desulfurization reaction. Results show that the magnesium ion can inhibit the crystallization process of gypsum. Specifically, the low concentration of magnesium ions (< 2.40 mg/L) could mainly inhibit the formation of gypsum crystal nucleus in the early stage, while the high concentration (> 3 000 mg/L) would delay the growth of gypsum crystal in the later stage. When the concentration of magnesium ion is less than 0.48 mg/L, the content of median particles in slurry increases, while the distribution range of particle size reduces, which is conducive to the dehydration of gypsum slurry; whereas when the concentration of magnesium ion lies in 3 000-12 000 mg/L, the law of change is opposite. When trace amounts of magnesium ions are added, a smaller number of acicular crystals would form in gypsum, which have little effects on the dehydration of slurry gypsum; whereas when mass amounts of magnesium ions are added, the number of acicular crystals in gypsum would increase obviously, which could improve the water holding capacity of the slurry, thus favoring the dehydration of the slurry.
