Chemical gardens are self-assembled structures of mineral precipitates enabled by semi-permeable membranes. To explore the effects gravity on formation chemical gardens, we have studied grown from cobalt chloride pellets and aqueous sodium silicate solution in a vertical Hele-Shaw cell. Through photography, observed quantitatively analysed upward growing tubes downward fingers. The latter were not seen previous experimental studies involving similar physicochemical systems 3-dimensional or...
Abstract Considering the growing importance of field chemobrionics since term was coined in 2015 and increase number published papers, it has become necessary to catalogue all papers date. Here, we present database, which lists chemical gardens synthesised according their anion, cation experimental protocol. The aim this database is encourage study dissemination order find new avenues chemobrionics. As such a fruitful field, continuously updated.
Chemical gardens refer to a class of plant-like self-assembling inorganic precipitate structures whose growth is driven by osmosis. They are thought be related hydrothermal vents and the origin life. In this work, we have investigated dynamical behaviour chemical grown in horizontal Hele-Shaw cell from cobalt manganese chloride with aqueous sodium silicate. It found that well-described diffusion-controlled model. reproducible time scales, exhibit explosive fracture, which attribute...
