Abstract
The effects of impurity on the growth of crystal have been the reported by many investigators. In the present study, the effect of small amount of zinc in the solution of crystallization of struvite-K crystals was studied using the SEM, FTIR and EDAX spectroscopic techniques. It was found that, the concentration and volume of zinc ions transform the morphology of struvite-K crystals. However in FT-IR spectroscopy, the vibrational frequencies observed from pure and zinc doped struvite-K crystals, the zinc doped frequencies were found to be slightly different from pure struvite-K crystals. The observed change in the vibrations of zinc doped was due to influence of zinc ions. EDAX techniques revealed that the sample was of a mixed composition.
