Effect of Solution Silicate on the Precipitation of Barium Sulfate

The presence of silicate during barium sulfate crystallization has different impacts depending on the pH of the solution. At pH 7 the dominance of the protonated form (H4SiO4) and possible polymerization of the silicate impacts mainly on the aggregation state and on twinning of the barium sulfate fo...
