Studies on growth,induction period,interfacial energy and metastable zonewidth of m‐nitroaniline

Single crystals of m‐Nitroaniline (mNA) were grown by slow cooling solution growth technique. Induction period, interfacial energy and metastable zonewidth have been evaluated. The solubility of mNA has been estimated at different temperatures in acetone and ethanol. Interfacial energy has been estimated using the experimentally determined induction period values. It is observed that the nucleation rate increases with the increase of supersaturation. (© 2005 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)     

Investigation of nucleation kinetics and crystal defects of HMX

The nucleation kinetics of HMX (cyclotetramethylene tetranitramine, C₄H₈N₈O₈) in γ‐butyrolactone was studied in cooling process by induction time method. The laser scattering method was used to measure the solubility data and metastable region of HMX in γ‐butyrolactone. The induction time was measured over a range of supersaturation at different temperatures. Then, the nucleation mechanism of HMX in γ‐butyrolactone was investigated by analysis the relationships between induction time and supersaturation. The results indicated homogeneous nucleation dominated at high supersaturation of S >1.35, while the heterogeneous nucleation dominated at low supersaturation of S < 1.35. The values of interfacial tension at different final temperatures were calculated to indicate the ability of HMX to be crystallized. The growth mechanism of HMX was investigated by the data fitting applying different growth mechanism models and identified as two‐dimensional nucleation‐mediated (2D) growth. Finally, the effects of supersaturation and temperature on the crystal defects were analyzed based on the nucleation kinetics. When the temperature is below 303.15K, homogeneous nucleation dominated the nucleation process at higher supersaturation. Fine HMX crystals with more defects were produced. On the contrary, heterogeneous nucleation mechanism dominated at lower supersaturation. large regular HMX crystals with fewer defects were formed when the temperature is above 318.15K.     

Crystallization and Characterization of Orthorhombic β‐MgSO4 · 7H2O

In solution, the growth rate and the crystal habit are influenced by a number of factors such as supersaturation, temperature, pH of the solution, cooling rate, agitation, viscosity, initial state of the seed crystal and the presence of impurities. The crystallization of orthorhombic β‐MgSO₄ · 7H₂O, from low temperature aqueous solution by slow cooling process was studied. The metastable zone width, the induction periods (τ) for different supersaturations and the effect of pH on the growth rate of the crystals were investigated. The increase of pH yielded bigger crystals. The structural, optical, thermal and mechanical properties of β‐MgSO₄ · 7H₂O have been studied using FT‐IR, X‐ray diffraction, TGA‐DTG and micro hardness analyses.     

Solubility data of trisodium citrate hydrates in aqueous solution and crystal‐solution interfacial energy of the pentahydrate

In this paper, the solubility of trisodium citrate dihydrate and trisodium citrate pentahydrate in water was experimentally determined. From solubility data, it was found that the relationship between trisodium citrate dihydrate and trisodium citrate pentahydrate is enantiotropic with a transition temperature at 315.4±1.0 K. Different hydrates can be isolated safely by controlling the crystallization temperature. The induction periods of trisodium citrate pentahydrate in aqueous solution were measured at different temperatures. The crystal–solution interfacial energy was calculated by using classical nucleation (CL) theory, mononuclear (MN) and polynuclear (PL) mechanisms through the relationship between induction period and supersaturation. It was found that the interfacial energy values calculated by using the CL theory and the MN model are nearly the same while interfacial energy calculated by PN model are about 40% higher.

Spontaneous precipitation of calcium silicate hydrate in aqueous solutions

Calcium silicate hydrates (C‐S‐H) are very important not only for their contribution to the development of cement and concrete properties but also for use as fillers and in silicate glasses. In the present work, the thermodynamics and the kinetics of the spontaneous precipitation of C‐S‐H from aqueous solutions were investigated over the pH range 10‐12 at 25 °C. The thermodynamic driving force was calculated taking into consideration all equilibria involved in the supersaturated solutions. In the range of the solution supersaturation values examined the precipitation occurred spontaneously, with the exception of the series of experiments done at pH 12.0, where induction times preceded the appearance of the precipitate. The rates were measured at constant pH as a function of the solution supersaturation and were found to depend strongly on the solution supersaturation, pH and on the total calcium to total silicate molar ratio in solution. Fit of the kinetics results in a power law relating rates of precipitation with respect to C‐S‐H precipitated, suggested a surface diffusion controlled mechanism for the formation of C‐S‐H. The precipitated solids did not show significant morphological differences at different pH values. From the induction times preceding the spontaneous precipitation at pH 12.0, a value of 30 mJm^‐2 was calculated for the surface energy of C‐S‐H. (© 2010 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.

Effects of pH and temperature on CaCO3 crystallization in aqueous solution with water soluble matrix of pearls

Water soluble matrix (WSM) was extracted from pearls originated from Hyriopsis cumingii in Zhuji, Zhejiang province, China. WSM was regarded as an additive in mineralization experiments in order to study the effect of WSM on CaCO₃ crystallization. The experiments were carried out at different pH and temperatures by gas diffusion method and solution titration method, respectively. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy (Raman) were used as powerful techniques to analyze the co-effect of pH value, temperature and WSM on crystal growth of CaCO₃. The results showed that WSM could induce aragonite at different pH values of mineralization solution, and the pH value had remarkable influence on morphology of calcite rather than aragonite due to distinct supersaturation and ionic strength related to various pH values. At different solution temperatures, WSM had little effect on crystal growth of calcium carbonate while the solution temperature had notable effect on polymorph and morphology of CaCO₃ crystals. This work can provide some basic information for the polymorph and morphology control of calcium carbonate.     

Nucleation in quiet supersaturated ADP solutions

The nucleation study has been made with supersaturated ADP solution. Rate of nucleation as indicated by the induction period was measured for non-agitated system over the temperature range 20°C–45°C. The nucleation rate increases with increase in temperature but supersaturation has the dominant effect as predicted by classical nucleation theory. However, attempts to analyse the results in accordance with classical theory were not entirely successful, but it is shown how the assumption of (a) a variation of crystal surface energy with temperature and (b) the influence of heterogeneous nucleation can account for the discrepancies. Activation energies, surface free energies and sizes of crystal nuclei were determined for nuclei of ammonium dihydrogen orthophosphate over the range of temperature 20°C–45°C.
