In-Situ FTIR Study on the Crystallization Process of Supersaturated Magnesium Borate Solution Process
The magnesium borate system’s dynamic behavior was investigated using ATR-FTIR and a self-made continuous humidity adjustable device. The supersaturation transformation and crystallization process of the three kinds of Ascharite, including Hungchaoite, Mcallisterite, and Inderite, were studied. Continuous adjustment of the relative humidity of the environment in the pool was achieved, allowing continuous monitoring of the dynamic chemical behavior of the magnesium borate supersaturation during evaporation. The supersaturation liquid film prepared on the substrate surface gradually evaporated and condensed into an ultra-concentrated state, eventually forming a multiphase mixture containing various magnesium borate crystals. Continuous measurement of infrared spectra of magnesium borate supersaturation on the substrate surface and magnesium borate crystals obtained by phase transformation and crystallization, combined with density functional theory calculations of infrared vibration patterns of various magnesium borate crystals, the supersaturation of poly borate in the three magnesium borates, the distribution of poly borate ions during the phase transformation, and the types of magnesium borate crystals formed by the final crystallization were described, the difference of species distribution of borates in three kinds of magnesium borate systems was summarized, and the reaction mechanism of the whole crystallization process was given. Research results: (1) In the three supersaturated solutions of Ascharite, the main polyborate ion is
