Crystal population balance model for nucleation and growth of colloidal TPA-silicalite-1

• A model describing the crystallization of colloidal TPA-silicalite-1 is developed and tested. The nucleation rate is approximated from experimental data. Crystal growth is surface-reaction limited and the Gibbs-Thomson effect suppresses growth of small crystals, resulting in an induction period. Slow crystal growth during the nucleation period results in the narrow crystal size distribution typically observed for colloidal TPA-silicalite-1 syntheses.
