In this report, using a physicochemical approach, we investigated the spatiotemporal precipitation of calcium oxalate (CaOx) crystals, the most common chemical compound found in kidney stones, at the dynamic interface generated by the interdiffusion of oxalate and calcium ions in a microchannel. Spatiotemporal crystal habit distributions were mapped and analyzed using scanning electron microscopy, and their formation was correlated to a numerical model that accounts for supersaturation and gravity. We show that while monohydrated CaOx crystals are the most frequent with random distribution in the channel, the dihydrated CaOx phase crystals are mainly formed at the contact line between oxalate and calcium at the oxalate side, where gradients are large and supersaturation is low. In addition, the size of the crystals correlates well with the supersaturation with increasing monodispersity over time. These results are supported by the numerical model. The simulations also show that nucleation can occur everywhere in the channel; however, with time, nucleation is limited to the upper level of the channel, while crystals on the bottom continue to grow from the reactants.}, year = {2023}, eissn = {1528-7505}, pages = {8116-8123}, orcid-numbers = {Papp, Paszkál/0000-0003-3608-4886; Tóth, Ágota/0000-0001-8254-6354; Abou-Hassan, Ali/0000-0002-9070-1024; Horváth, Dezső/0000-0003-3852-6879} } @article{MTMT:32838795, title = {Formation and growth of lithium phosphate chemical gardens}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32838795}, author = {Emmanuel, Michael and Lantos, Emese and Horváth, Dezső and Tóth, Ágota}, doi = {10.1039/d1sm01808f}, journal-iso = {SOFT MATTER}, journal = {SOFT MATTER}, volume = {18}, unique-id = {32838795}, issn = {1744-683X}, abstract = {We show that a chemical garden can be developed from an alkaline metal precipitate using a flow-driven setup. By injecting sodium phosphate solution into lithium chloride solution from below, a liquid jet appears, on which a precipitate grows forming a structure resembling a hydrothermal vent. The precipitate column continuously builds upward until a maximum height is reached. The vertical growth then significantly slows down while the tube diameter still increases. The analysis of the growth profiles has revealed a linear dependence of volume growth rate on the injection rate, hence yielding a universal growth profile. The expansion in diameter, localized at the tip of the structure, scales with a power law suggesting that the phenomenon is controlled by both diffusion and convection.}, keywords = {FLOW; PATTERNS; Chemistry, Physical; Materials Science, Multidisciplinary; Physics, Multidisciplinary; Filament dynamics; SILICA TUBES}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1744-6848}, pages = {1731-1736}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, Dezső/0000-0003-3852-6879; Tóth, Ágota/0000-0001-8254-6354} } @article{MTMT:32875531, title = {Nucleation kinetics of lithium phosphate precipitation}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/32875531}, author = {Emmanuel, Michael and Papp, Paszkál and Schuszter, Gábor and Imre-Deák, Ágota and Janovák, László and Tóth, Ágota and Horváth, Dezső}, doi = {10.1039/D2CE00333C}, journal-iso = {CRYSTENGCOMM}, journal = {CRYSTENGCOMM}, volume = {24}, unique-id = {32875531}, issn = {1466-8033}, year = {2022}, eissn = {1466-8033}, pages = {4447-4453}, orcid-numbers = {Papp, Paszkál/0000-0003-3608-4886; Schuszter, Gábor/0000-0002-9170-9933; Imre-Deák, Ágota/0000-0002-6781-1727; Janovák, László/0000-0002-2066-319X; Tóth, Ágota/0000-0001-8254-6354; Horváth, Dezső/0000-0003-3852-6879} } @mastersthesis{MTMT:33131143, title = {Nucleation kinetics and flow-driven crystallization of lithium phosphate}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/33131143}, author = {Emmanuel, Michael}, doi = {10.14232/phd.11352}, publisher = {Universití of Szeged}, unique-id = {33131143}, year = {2022} } @article{MTMT:31434953, title = {Flow-driven crystal growth of lithium phosphate in microchannels}, url = {https://m2.mtmt.hu/api/publication/31434953}, author = {Emmanuel, Michael and Horváth, Dezső and Tóth, Ágota}, doi = {10.1039/D0CE00540A}, journal-iso = {CRYSTENGCOMM}, journal = {CRYSTENGCOMM}, volume = {22}, unique-id = {31434953}, issn = {1466-8033}, year = {2020}, eissn = {1466-8033}, pages = {4887-4893}, orcid-numbers = {Horváth, Dezső/0000-0003-3852-6879; Tóth, Ágota/0000-0001-8254-6354} }
