Abstract
The growth kinetics of single crystal of glucuronic acid lactone was s tudied in aqueous solution. The relationship between the growth rates and supersaturation at 35 degrees C was presented and discussed. A gro wth mechanism was identified by comparing the results with theoretical models and calculating the alpha-factors. The results appear to sugge st that crystal growth of glucuronic acid lactone can be explained by a screw dislocation mechanism (BCF model).
