Influence of grain size, morphology and aggregation on galena dissolution

The acidic, non-oxidative dissolution of galena nanocrystals has been studied using both microscopic and wet-chemical methods. The effects of particle size, shape, aggregation state, and grain proximity on dissolution rates were investigated. Nearly monodisperse galena nanocrystals with an average d...
