The authors report the result of a preliminary study concerning the elimination of organic impurities such as microbes or bacteria in KDP growth solution. A chemical preservative (antiseptic mercury, Hg), was successfully employed for the sterilization of bacteria and microbes, which can be eliminated from the beginning to the end of the growth process. The preservative does not contaminate the solution or the as-grown KDP crystals.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
