Characterization of the Precipitation Processes of Negatively Charged Silver Bromide by the Influence of Non-Ionic Surface-Active Agent and Temperature Change

The kinetics of precipitation in sols in statu nascendi was studied near the complex solubiLi1ty limit of the negatively charged silver bromide precipitate. Different precipitation processes were observed by the analysis of the critical time of precipitation and were characterized by the influence of the non-ionic surface-active agent Triton-X-305 and by the change of temperature during the precipitation. The results show that two processes of the growth of seoondary str.uctur.es from primary particles take place in relation to the potassium bromide concentrations in excess: aggregation which takes place at lower, and crystallization which occurs at higher concentrations of potassium bromide in excess
