Additive Enhanced Creeping of Sodium Chloride Crystals
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article investigates the mechanism behind the creeping of sodium chloride induced by additives. Here, an experimental approach is complemented with theoretical considerations to describe how creeping patterns of brine evolve and how the introduction of additives into the solution affects the morphology of the resultant crystals. We have found that these additives cause kinetic roughening and morphological instability mainly due to the reduction of surface free energy. There was also a marked increase in three-dimensional nucleation of the NaCl crystals and thus branching.

Effect of the Experimental Parameters on Calcium Carbonate Precipitation
In this study, calcium carbonate crystals were obtained by mixing of calcium chloride and sodium carbonate in the presence of biopolymer, carboxymethyl inulin (CMI). The effect of the feed rate of reactant and the initial [Ca] concentration was investigated. The produced calcium carbonate (CaCO3) crystals were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Fourier transform infrared spect...
متن کاملPolymorphism in the Crystallization of Glycine
Glycine crystallizes in more than three different polymorphic forms, α, β and γ. The form α and form γ have been prepared by recrystallization and quench-cooling method, respectively. The physicochemical properties of αand γ-forms of glycine were investigated. Techniques used to study the polymorphs include X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), differential sc...

The electrochemical process of cuprous oxide production is by the anodic dissolution of copper in an alkaline concentrated sodium chloride solution. The initial chloride in the electrolyte cell provides a condition for the formation of cuprous chlorocomplex anions. In the end,the cuprous oxide is formed through the anions hydrolysis by the hydroxyl ions, which are generated in the cathodic reac...
