Abstract
The face specific crystal growth rates of potassium nitrate (KNO3) in aqueous solution have been determined under the influence of various a dditives. The additives were preselected by a very simple method and t he concentration of the additives was in the range from 0.5-8000 ppm, corresponding to the mass of soluted potassium nitrate. The changes in the crystal habit and in the surface topographies were observed and c ould be explained by the differences in the adsorption energies on the various faces of potassium nitrate.
