Effect of EDTA on the Growth Kinetics and Structural and Optical Properties of KDP Crystal by Anisur Rahman, Jiban Podder

“…The solubility of potassium dihydrogen phosphate (KDP) was determined for five different temperatures. Metastable zone width of aqueous solutions of KDP saturated at different temperatures was determined by nucleation method in pure form and adding a well-known chelating agent ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid (0.5 mol% EDTA). …”
