Crystallizers growth type

The larger particle sizes thus could be accretions of these basic units, and several such agglomerations were noted. The rods were arranged side by side, closely packed in bundles. Apparently the alkali peels these rods from the coal mass, and they subsequently agglomerate in solution, similar to tactoid formation (12), according to a crystal growth type of clustering theory (13, 14).)... 

Dislocation theory as a portion of the subject of solid-state physics is somewhat beyond the scope of this book, but it is desirable to examine the subject briefly in terms of its implications in surface chemistry. Perhaps the most elementary type of defect is that of an extra or interstitial atom—Frenkel defect [110]—or a missing atom or vacancy—Schottky defect [111]. Such point defects play an important role in the treatment of diffusion and electrical conductivities in solids and the solubility of a salt in the host lattice of another or different valence type [112]. Point defects have a thermodynamic basis for their existence in terms of the energy and entropy of their formation, the situation is similar to the formation of isolated holes and erratic atoms on a surface. Dislocations, on the other hand, may be viewed as an organized concentration of point defects they are lattice defects and play an important role in the mechanism of the plastic deformation of solids. Lattice defects or dislocations are not thermodynamic in the sense of the point defects their formation is intimately connected with the mechanism of nucleation and crystal growth (see Section IX-4), and they constitute an important source of surface imperfection. 

Increased pressures can lower the temperature at which crystallisation occurs. Experiments performed using Spectrosil (Thermal Syndicate Ltd.) and G.E. Type 204 (General Electric Company) fused siUcas (see Eig. 2) show that at pressures above 2.5 GPa (<25, 000 atm), devitrification occurs at temperatures as low as 500°C and that at 4 GPa (<40, 000 atm), it occurs at as low as 450°C (107). Although the temperatures and pressures were in the coesite-phase field, both coesite and quarts were observed. Both the devitrification rate and the formation of the stable phase (coesite) were enhanced by the presence of water. In the 1000—1700°C region at 500—4000 MPa (<5, 000-40,000 atm), a- and p-quarts were the primary phases. Crystal growth rates... 

These apparent restrictions in size and length of simulation time of the fully quantum-mechanical methods or molecular-dynamics methods with continuous degrees of freedom in real space are the basic reason why the direct simulation of lattice models of the Ising type or of solid-on-solid type is still the most popular technique to simulate crystal growth processes. Consequently, a substantial part of this article will deal with scientific problems on those time and length scales which are simultaneously accessible by the experimental STM methods on one hand and by Monte Carlo lattice simulations on the other hand. Even these methods, however, are too microscopic to incorporate the boundary conditions from the laboratory set-up into the models in a reahstic way. Therefore one uses phenomenological models of the phase-field or sharp-interface type, and finally even finite-element methods, to treat the diffusion transport and hydrodynamic convections which control a reahstic crystal growth process from the melt on an industrial scale. 

Here r is the distance between the centers of two atoms in dimensionless units r = R/a, where R is the actual distance and a defines the effective range of the potential. Uq sets the energy scale of the pair-interaction. A number of crystal growth processes have been investigated by this type of potential, for example [28-31]. An alternative way of calculating solid-liquid interface structures on an atomic level is via classical density-functional methods [32,33]. 

When the water is added to the final dry cement material, the hydration of the cement begins immediately. The water is combined chemically with the cement material to eventually form a new immobile solid. As the cement hydrates, it will bond to the surrounding surfaces. This cement bonding is complex and depends on the type of surface to be cemented. Cement bonds to rock by a process of crystal growth. Cement bonds to the outside of a casing by filling in the pit spaces in the casing body [163]. 

When a precipitate separates from a solution, it is not always perfectly pure it may contain varying amounts of impurities dependent upon the nature of the precipitate and the conditions of precipitation. The contamination of the precipitate by substances which are normally soluble in the mother liquor is termed co-precipitation. We must distinguish between two important types of co-precipitation. The first is concerned with adsorption at the surface of the particles exposed to the solution, and the second relates to the occlusion of foreign substances during the process of crystal growth from the primary particles. 

Both reaction types are carried out in sealed tantalum containers at temperatures around 700 °C, above the melting point of Pr2ls to speed up the reaction and to assure crystal growth upon slow cooling. 

After the discovery of the photopolymerization of 2,5-DSP crystals, several types of photoproducts were found, not only the linear polymers, but some other derivatives, e.g. the V-shaped dimer or cyclophane (Hasegawa and Hashimoto, 1992). The photopolymerization occurs in a step-growth mechanism by cyclobutane formation between the excited olefin and the olefin in the ground state. 

Thermal stability is important in this method because the high temperatures reached may be sufficient to cause decomposition of the material. The Vemeuil Method of crystal growth is not generally applicable to all types of crystals. There are serious deficiencies in the method. For example, there is a large temperature drop of hundreds of degrees over a few millimeters within the crystal. This causes a large difference in thermal expansion within a limited space, and consequent... 

In these cases, one is limited to the growth of single crystals of the transition metals since it is those metals which form volatile carbonyl compounds. The alkali metals, alkaline earth metals and certain of those elements which are allotropic in nature are not at aH suited for this type of crystal growth. 

Dynamics of Crystal Growth hi the preceding section we illustrated the use of a lattice Monte Carlo method related to the study of equilibrium properties. The KMC and DMC method discussed above was applied to the study of dynamic electrochemical nucleation and growth phenomena, where two types of processes were considered adsorption of an adatom on the surface and its diffusion in different environments. 

Fig. 25 Annealing time evolution of the difference SAXS intensity in the induction period (a) and the crystallization period (b) for the melt crystallization of PET at 244 °C [18]. This system corresponds to crystallization from the metastable state where a nucle-ation and growth type of primary phase separation first occurs followed by the spinodal decomposition type secondary phase separation...

Crystal Growth. Depending on the materials, two types of crystal growth method have been used solution for AMA and POM, melt for MAP and NPP. 

Adsorption of e.g. rosin (abietic acid) at the pigment surface may - depending on the concentration of the rosin - reduce or accelerate the crystal growth. The presence of an excess amount of rosin during the production of diarylide yellow pigments of the Pigment Yellow 13 type affords an additional crystal modification, which can be identified by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy [4],...
