Physical and Morphological Study of Barium Oxalate Crystals Grown by Agar-Agar Gel Method

ABSTRACT Barium oxalate crystals were grown by agar-agar gel through the single diffusion technique. The tendency of barium oxalate crystals to cylindrical growth was demonstrated. The optimum growth conditions barium oxalate was achieved by controlling the parameters like, concentration of gel, concentration of reactants, aging period and reversing of reactants. The crystal structure of grown material was determined by TGA, DTA, DSC and EDAX.
