XRD, FTIR and Elemental Analysis of Single Crystal Mercury Tartrate Grown by Gel Method
Abstract
Crystal growth is a heterogeneous chemical process that involves changing a compound's phase from one to another. The gel used in the crystal formation approach study has gained popularity and is employed by several investigators. In this research paper, we have developed high-quality Mercury Tartrate crystals using a simple gel diffusion method and determined the optimal growth conditions by varying parameters such as pH of the gel solution, gel setting time, reactant concentrations, the density of a solution of sodium meta silicate, mercury chloride volume and temperature, etc. A few of the developed crystals were translucent, while others were opaque. XRD was used to analyze the crystal structure and confirm crystalline perfection at various optimal conditions. EDAX was used to verify the chemical composition and elemental analysis. FTIR confirms the material's design and structural analysis. This investigation aimed to examine the factors governing Mercury Tartrate crystals' formation in silica gels. Gel methods have been widely utilized compared to other techniques due to their low cost, sensitivity, and ease of use.
