โฆ Synopsis
The saturation colorability of quartz crystals depends not only on the contamination of the material but also on the regarded growth sector. But even in the same sector the colorability varies locally. Investigations of crystals with induced growth striations and defined local growth rate showed that the dependence of the colorability on the growth conditions is very complex. The growth rate to colorability characteristics may have positive or negative slopes regarding e.g. -x-or z-sections. Optical investigations of -x-sections prove that under certain circumstances light and/or dark striations may occur or even uncolorable regions may be observed, althought the contamination is sure. We explain this by the interaction of the coloration centres with interstitials. That effect might be of importance for the evaluation of the impurity by means of the coloration of natural or synthetic quartz crystals.
Die Sattigungsvefarbbarkeit von Quarzkristallen hangt nicht nur von der Verunreinigung des Materials sondern auch vom betrachteten Wachstumssektor ab. Doch sogar im gleichen Sektor ist die Verfarbung ortsabhangig. Untersuchungen an Kristallen mit induzierten Wachstumsstrcifcn und folglich definierter Wachstumsrate zeigten, daD die Abhangigkeit der Verfarbbarkeit von den Wachstumsbedingungen sehr komplex ist. Die Wachstumsraten-Verfarbungscharakteristik kann z. B. positiven oder negativen Anstieg in denx-oder z-Sektoren haben. Optische Untersuchungen der -x-Bereiche jedoch zeigen, daD unter bestimmten Umstanden helle und/oder dunkle Streifen auftreten bzw. manche Kristallbereiche uberhaupt unverfarbt bleiben konnen, obgleich die Kontamination dieses Bereichs sicher ist. Dieser Effekt wird durch die Wechselwirkung der Verfarbungszentren und zusatzlichen Zwischengitterionen erklart und kann fur die Bewertung der Verunreinigungskonzentration von naturlichen und synthetischen Quarzkristallen mit Hilfe der Verfarbung wichtig sein.

## Abstract Growth rate of potassium sulfate crystals was studied in a fluidized bed crystallizer. Higher growth rates were observed at larger bed heights. Larger crystals grow faster than smaller size crystals due to the changed fluid dynamics. The growth rate was found to be very sensitive to the
Crystallization experiments of sucrose were performed in a batch crystallizer to study the effect of temperature and growth rate history on the crystal growth kinetics. In one of the growth methods adopted, the isothermal volumetric growth rate (R V ) is determined as a function of supersaturation (
