Infrared investigation of barite and gypsum crystallization: Evidence for an amorphous to crystalline transition

Infrared was used to monitor the progression of barite (BaSO4) and gypsum (CaSO4·2H2O) crystallization. It was found that barite crystallized with broad infrared peaks that narrowed over time. This was accentuated when an inhibitor was added. The infrared of gypsum in the early stages showed a phase...
