Abstract

Carnallite crystals have been synthesized from KCl – MgCl2 brine solutions at room temperature (23 °C) using a solvent evaporation technique. The effects of the concentration of potassium chloride (KCl) and magnesium chloride (MgCl2) on growth, structural and mechanical properties of the carnallite crystal is investigated and discussed. Transparent and pseudo-hexagonal shaped carnallite crystals with dimensions of 4 × 5 × 2 mm to 16 × 13 × 3 mm are shown. The carnallite crystals were characterized using powder X-ray diffraction and the lattice parameters were found to be a = 9.575 Å, b = 16.155 Å and c = 22.526 Å, space group: Pnna, Z: 12, α = β = γ = 90° with a unit cell volume, V = 3 485.04 Å3. The lattice parameters are found to be in good agreement with standard values and the structure of the crystal is orthorhombic. Vickers micro-hardness testing was carried out to determine the hardness and work hardening coefficient of the carnallite crystals.

Keywords: Carnallite crystal; Potassium–magnesium chloride solution; Solvent evaporation; X-ray diffraction; Orthorhombic structure
