By means of batch crystallization technique the crystallization kinetics of MgSO 4 · 7 H 2 O at 25 °C at higher ranges of the supersaturation from pure aqueous solutions was investigated. It was observed that the growth rate highly depends on the habit of crystals and on their ratio of length to width, respectively. This ratio is a function of the initial supersaturation of each crystal.
