AB Supersaturation evaluation is an essential requirement to describe, confront and explain crystal growth experiences. However, in the particular case of crystal growth in gels, experiences are often described by attending to the initial concentration of reagent. This fact is connected with deficiencies in the theoretical quantification of mass-transfer, and therefore in both time and location prediction for the first precipitate. In this paper laboratory experiences have been specifically designed to test supersaturation evolution through an actual (finite) diffusion system. The problem is carried out by keeping into account several complexity factors: free ions as well as complexes and silica gel Na+ and Cl− “unloading” are considered to evaluate the supersaturation.
