Our results show that a large excess of either Ba2+ or SO4 2− ions inhibits both the nucleation and growth of BaSO4. However, for a small excess of Ba2+, the growth is enhanced. The dependence of nucleation and growth rates on supersaturation and solution stoichiometry was captured by a semiempirical rate model. Hence, the solution stoichiometry is a highly relevant parameter while studying all aspects of BaSO4 crystallization, and it could be worthwhile to examine other minerals similarly.}, organization = {European Research Council (ERC) under the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme (grant agreement no. 819588)}, organization = {Junta de Andalucía (PROYEXCEL_00771)}, publisher = {American Chemical Society}, title = {Effect of Solution Stoichiometry on BaSO4 Crystallization from Turbidity Measurements and Modeling}, doi = {10.1021/acs.iecr.3c03612}, author = {Peters, Vincent F.
