Additive controlled crystallization
Additives play a decisive role in crystallization processes. We survey the ongoing efforts in the realm of additive-controlled crystallization. Emphasis is placed on the commonly used and most studied types of additives and their influences on prenucleation, stabilization of amorphous precursors, nucleation, crystallization, chiral resolution, nanocrystal assembly, polymorph, and thus morpholog...
متن کاملBiominerals and Fossils through Time
Fossils are essential to the reconstruction of the evolution of life and episodes in Earth history. Fossil skeletal material serves as the repository of chemical data widely used in the reconstruction of the Earth’s climate–ocean system at various time scales. Knowledge of biomineralization – the processes associated with the formation of mineralized biological structures – is essential to prop...
متن کاملOn the Characteristics and Growth of Biominerals
Minerals formed by organisms may either be simply a side-product of the metabolism or they carry a function, for which their properties and morphologies are controlled by the organism. The rst case, bioinduced mineralisation, was encountered in this work in the case of the precipitation of the mineral schwertmannite (Fe8O8(OH)6SO4) by the bacterial strain Leptospirillum ferrooxidans. In the lit...
متن کاملThe Organic-Mineral Interface in Biominerals
Numerous living organisms form minerals. These biogenic minerals, or biominerals, are composite materials containing an organic matrix and nanoor micro-scale amorphous or crystalline minerals. In this chapter we will review the molecular aspects of biomineralization and describe as completely as is currently possible the organic-mineral interface, the location in which organic-mineral interacti...
متن کاملControlled Crystallization of LTA Zeolitic Nanoparticles from a Clear Solution Using Organic Template
LTA Zeolite nanoparticles was successfully synthesized from clear solution under controlled conditions using hydrothermal method using tetramethyl ammonium hydroxide as a structural directing agent. The as-synthesized LTA zeolite particles were characterized by powder X-ray Diffraction (XRD) analysis, Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Fourier Transform InfraRed (FT-IR) spectroscopy, </e...
