Abstract
AbstractThe combined effects of supersaturation and Ba2+ on potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) were investigated in batch cooling suspension crystallization. Growth size, morphology, and impurity Ba2+ adsorbed in the KDP crystals were measured with changing Ba2+ concentration and supersaturation. Significant changes in shapes and volume of the grown crystals have been observed. The results further confirmed that the size and shape of crystals were greatly determined by supersaturation. Ba2+ ions significantly modified the growth habit of KDP crystals. The concentration of Ba2+ ions adsorbed in the crystals increases with the increasing Ba2+ ions in the solutions and supersaturation. The foggy phenomena caused by the addition of Ba to the KDP solution were also described. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
