Epitactic crystal growth plays a main role in the development of mineral processes and in the
synthesis of advanced materials. Celestite (SrSO4) forms epitactic overgrowths on anhydrite …

The dissolution–precipitation reactions occurring on mineral surfaces are considered an
effective means to remove high amounts of dissolved toxic metals from fluid phases by …

Celestite (SrSO 4) single crystals immersed in highly concentrated Na 2 CO 3 aqueous
solutions (0.5 mol/l) are progressively pseudomorphised by aggregates of strontianite (SrCO …

Novel zeolite synthesis approaches are leading to new insights into the molecular
mechanisms of zeolite nucleation and growth. This article highlights some of the latest …

Zeolite crystallization predominantly occurs by nonclassical pathways involving the
attachment of complex (alumino) silicate precursors to crystal surfaces, yet recurrent images …

Zeolite crystallization occurs by multifaceted processes involving molecule attachment and
nonclassical pathways governed by the addition of amorphous precursors. Here, we use …

The discovery of reversed crystal growth routes in zeolite analcime and zeolite A implies that
crystal growth does not always follow the classic theory established 100 years ago …

Micro-facet formation processes were observed, with atomic force microscopy (AFM), at
presumably less stable (011) and (111) faces of anhydrite (CaSO4) crystal in aqueous …

Abstract Scolecite crystals consist of {110},{010}, and {111} growth sectors with triclinic
symmetry, although scolecite appears to be monoclinic by X-ray analysis. The crystals have …

In this paper, we present in situ atomic force microscopy (AFM) observations of the
interaction between celestite (SrSO4)(001) surfaces and Na2CO3 aqueous solutions. The …
