C. Mahadevan et al., Nucleation studies in supersaturated aqueous solutions of magnesium and zinc doped nickel sulphate heptahydrate, J INDIAN CH, 76(7), 1999, pp. 335-338
Induction period has been measured for various supersaturated aqueous solut
ions of nickel sulphate heptahydrate doped separately with magnesium sulpha
te heptahydrate and zinc sulphate heptahydrate by the direct vision method.
Various critical nucleation parameters have been calculated based on class
ical theory for homogeneous nucleation. The critical nucleation parameters
decrease with the increase in concentration of ZnSO4. 7H(2)O doping but inc
rease with the increase in concentration of MgSO4. 7H(2)O doping in the NiS
O4. 7H(2)O solutions.
