Aug 21, 2025 · In salt lakes, temperature fluctuation plus gravity facilitates quick salt accumulation at the lake bottom through solid crystal settling and convection. In contrast, the reverse process—salt …

Oct 9, 2024 · The work focuses on the whole physicochemical process of salt crystallization in porous inorganic matrix and different efflorescence formation on the surface of the matrix.

Apr 24, 2017 · Crystals grow because salt molecules in the solution meet up and interlock. As they do so, they fit together like puzzle pieces, arranging themselves in a lattice structure, thus creating a …

Mar 7, 2025 · Our study investigates the evaporation of droplets from saturated salt solutions under nonequilibrium conditions, with experiments conducted in low-pressure and microgravity …

The theory of crystallization pressure is discussed in detail in several papers from our group. We are studying methods for reducing or eliminating the disjoining forces to protect the stone.

Mar 25, 2025 · Salt crystals primarily consist of sodium chloride (NaCl), which is formed when sodium ions (Na+) and chloride ions (Cl-) bond together. This ionic bond occurs when these two elements …

Feb 7, 2025 · Salt crystallization is a significant contributor to salt-induced damage in porous materials such as stones and concrete. However, a quantitative study of the pore-filling process involving salt …

May 16, 2025 · We present our results on salt crystallization at the interface between hydrophilic and hydrophobic porous media during the evaporation of aqueous salt solutions.

Salt crystallization or formation of salt crystals in rocks is known as haloclasty and it is one of the main causes of breaking down of rocks into smaller pieces. The process of crystallization of salts causes …

In summary, crystallisation in salt formation is a process where a salt solution is heated until it reaches saturation, at which point the salt begins to form solid crystals. This process is key to both the natural …
