Abstract
The precipitation of crystals from solution involves nucleation,
which is usually rapid and heterogeneous, and the subsequent
growth of the crystals. In order to measure the rate of the interface
growth process, the size of the crystals, as well as the rate
of incorporation of material into the crystals, must be measured,
and very small crystals must be studied to insure interface control.
For slightly soluble salts the order of the interface growth
process depends upon the stoichiometry of the salt and its supersaturation.
The interface growth coefficients for different salts,
orders of crystallization, and supersaturation are compared. These
coefficients · depend upon the type of salt crystallizing, but usually
not upon the order or supersaturation.
