Characterization and Crystallization of Ba(SO4,SeO4) Solid Solution
Abstract
Investigation of the equilibrium thermodynamics of the Ba(SO 4, SeO 4 )-H 2 O system has shown that sulfate ions partition preferentially into the solid solution. When crystallized under supersaturated conditions, the solid phase is, however, enriched in BaSeO 4 with respect to equilibrium compositions. The crystals exhibit sectorial zoning superimposed on concentric zoning. The solid solution was studied using precipitation experiments and crystallization in gel. Powder XRD analysis of the crystals formed in the precipitation experiments show that the unit cell parameters vary almost linearly with composition and that the excess volume of mixing is almost zero, suggesting that this solid solution is almost ideal. The crystals grown at high supersaturations in the gel are enriched in BaSeO 4 showing that under these conditions a deviation from equilibrium partitioning occurs. The crystals also exhibit concentric zoning with a BaSO 4 -rich core surrounded by BaSeO 4 -rich regions and, in crystals grown from solutions high in sulfate, a BaSO 4 -rich rim. Sectorial zoning is superimposed on the concentric zoning and is thought to be caused by preferential incorporation of BaSO 4 onto the {210} form which is important in the BaSO 4 endmember. The morphological changes of this solid solution as a function of composition are also described.

“High compositional gradients of crystals have been proven to be a major characteristic of solid solutions with a great difference in the solubilities of the endmembers (2 to 3 orders of magnitude) [25, 26] and could be easy to explain considering changes in the fluid composition during crystal growth [2, 27, 28].”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
