Effect of pH on the growth of KDP
The acidity of KDP salt solution is one of the important parameters. This parameter determines a lot of properties of solution, crystallization processes in solution, properties of grown crystals. An alteration of the KDP salt solution acidity changes it`s properties such as KDP salt volubility, stability of the KDP solution, solution density, solution viscosity, solution heat capacity, etc. It also changes state of impurities in the solution and characteristics of interaction between growing faces of the crystal and solution impurities. As a result kinetics of crystallization changes, habit and physical properties of the grown crystal change too. It should be mentioned that investigations in were done for low rate processes of crystal growth. Here we report the results of our investigations which have been done for high rate crystal growth processes (R{sub Z} {approx} 20 mm/day).
