Abstract
The particle (cluster) size distribution function and the temporal variation of the middle (critical) and maximum particle dimensions have been calculated assuming that two mechanisms of mass transfer—those controlled by (i) the volume diffusion and (ii) the rate of chemical bond formation on the particle surface—are simultaneously operative. A comparison of the theoretical curves to experimental histograms shows that the proposed mechanism of particle growth can be realized in practice in the course of the Ostwald ripening.
