ABSTRACT
Impurity ions influence mineral growth rates through a variety of kinetic and thermodynamic processes that also affect partitioning the impurity ion between solid solution. Here, effect an ion, strontium, on Barite (BaSO4) (001) was studied using combination high-resolution in situ microscopy with ex chemical imaging techniques. In presence ⟨120⟩ steps roughened bifurcated. The overall rate decreased increasing aqueous strontium-to-barium ratio ([Sr]/[Ba]aq) < 1. Analysis reacted solids techniques indicated strontium incorporated uniformly across all step orientations into hillock for [Sr]/[Ba]aq However, at > 5, apparent [010] orientation were expressed direction led to increase surface. Strontium became preferentially direction, rather than being homogeneously distributed. [Sr]/[Ba]s newly grown found correlate directly solutions but not higher [Sr]/[Ba]aq. Solid composition analyses indicate equilibrium achieved. transport modeling successfully reproduces shift mechanism.
