Abstract

In the present investigation, crystals of Zinc iodate, were grown by gel method. Since the compound decomposes before its melting point, conventional high temperature methods for its growth are not suitable. It is sparingly soluble in water; hence, gel method is only the alternative technique for growing the crystals of the appreciable size and quality as reported in the present work at ambient temperature. Moreover, this method is simple and inexpensive. Hence the crystals of zinc iodate [Zn(IO3)2] have been grown in sodium meta silicate gel using the single diffusion method at room temperature. This research paper involves the growth of the zinc iodate crystals and its study using various parameters such as pH of the gel solution, gel concentration, gel setting time, concentrations of reactants etc. The effect of these parameters on the growth of the crystals has been studied.
