This project examines how ionic ratios in natural solutions influence the nucleation and growth of crystals. By conducting experiments and developing new theories, it aims to improve our understanding of crystal formation, with applications in geoengineering and resource management.
All of the crystals that form in water on Earth are formed through reaction between oppositely charged ions.
In these crystals, the ions are present in an ideal, charge-balanced ionic ratio.
In contrast, the natural solutions in which they form, contain widely diverging ionic ratios.
When crystals nucleate from natural solutions, they will be charged, and charge has a massive impact on the behaviour of small new crystals.
Most nucleation experiments have been conducted in solutions with charge-b…
