Dissolution kinetics and topographic relaxation on celestite (001) surfaces: The effect of solution saturation state studied using Atomic Force Microscopy

The effect of specific background electrolytes on water structure and solute hydration: Consequences for crystal dissolution and growth

“…Dove et al (2005) reported similar changes in the dissolution mechanism for quartz with increasing thermodynamic driving force or as a result of salt addition. Bose et al (2008) attributed similar observations on celestite to the effect of solution saturation state.…”

Dissolution kinetics of calcite at 50–70°C: An atomic force microscopic study under near-equilibrium conditions

“…Detailed information on the AFM used in the present study can be found in our previous publications (Bose et al, 2008;Higgins et al, 1998). Briefly, this self-constructed AFM, which has a closed fluid cell, allows a continuous flow of solution to interact with the mineral specimen and enables the instrument to be operated at high pressure and temperature.…”

“…"À" indicates concentrations below detection. and spreading out radially over the surface (Bose et al, 2008;Compton et al, 1990a;Compton et al, 1990b). Solution flow rate was controlled by a mass flow controller (Porter Instrument) downstream of the fluid cell.…”

Depression Mechanism of Strontium Ions in Bastnaesite Flotation with Salicylhydroxamic Acid as Collector

“…The implication of strontianite dissolution in an aqueous environment was confirmed by a previous dissolution study [25,26]. Celestite has been proven to be highly reactive at room temperature; dissolution of celestite plays an important role in determining the Sr composition in aqueous solution [27][28][29]. Therefore, the dissolution of strontium ions into flotation pulp is inevitable.…”
