Abstract
A previous communication1 showed that dissolution or urinary calculi sections did not exhibit zero-order (i. e., constant) rates under sink conditions. Since pure calcium oxalate discs did exhibit a constant dissolution rate, it was concluded that controlling processes other than the intrinsic solution properties of calcium oxalate must be operative in the dissolution behavior of real calculi. In this paper we intend to compare models described previously2 with the dissolution behavior of artificial calculi in various media.
