Application of the methods of dynamic light scattering and light microscopy for determining the particle size of the solid phase during the crystallization of salts

摘要

This work is devoted to determining the size of the particles of calcium carbonate by utilizing two independent instrumental methods (dynamic light scattering and light microscopy) in the range of 0.8 nm and 0.1 mm during the process of crystallization. The dependence of particle size on the time allows to determine the kinetic parameters and energy characteristics of induction periods and crystallization. Equilibrium values of the size of CaCO3 particles are consistent with the electronic microscopy data.
