Growth of Li2MoO4 Crystals from Activated Water Solutions

The possibility of obtaining lithium molybdate Li2MoO4 crystals from water solutions activated by low-frequency oscillations of a chemically inert body is examined. It is shown that the activation of the solution increases the equilibrium solubility of Li2MoO4 in the water solution in the temperature interval 25 - 28A degrees C. It is found that the activation of a solution affects the form of the faceting of the crystals grown and the surface morphology of the faces. It is shown that activation of the solution decreases the inclusions of water in the crystals and improves the surface quality of the growing crystal.
