The isothermal (32.7) growth of crystals of adipic acid from aqueous solution under carefully controlled conditions has been studied as a function of (a) supersaturation level (1 to 13%) and (b) concentration of various anionic and cationic surfactants (0 to 360 mg./l.), using a specially designed crystallizing apparatus. Growth rates of the characteristic faces ((001),(010) and (110)) of the crystals were determined microscopically. Sorption of surfactants on the crystals was independently determined. While results are in general qualitative agreement with earlier work on this system, a number of very significant and unusual effects have been detected which could not have been observed without control of temperature and supersaturation. The growth-retardation on certain faces is far greater than previously reported, and theeffect of additive is strongly dependent on supersaturation level; at low supersaturation, increasing additive concentration results in drastic reduction or cessation ofgrowth on certain faces, while at high supersaturation levels the additives have relatively little effect on growth, regardless of concentration. A particularly interesting result is that anionic additives actually sig-nificantly accelerate growth on the (001) face. It is also found that additives increase the supersaturation level at which extensive three-dimensional nucleation occurs, and also result in better-formed crystals. The results are interpreted in terms of two-dimensional nucleation and dislocation theories of crystal growth, and mechanisms for growth and habit modification are developed.
