together with transmission electron microscopy (TEM), powder X-ray diffraction (XRD) and In-
lens field emission scanning electron microscopy (IFESEM) for studying the unseeded
nucleation of gibbsite from synthetic Bayer liquor (sodium aluminate). The effects of
supersaturation in the absence or presence of a known inhibitor (sodium gluconate) were
examined. In each series of experiments, both homogeneous and heterogeneous primary …
