Short summary
Ice formation by dust is an important way of forming mixed-phase clouds. Tengger desert dust exhibited an efficient ice nucleation ability, which have influenced by feldspar. Internal mixing with ammonium sulfate significantly enhanced immersion freezing ability of dust, associating with interactions between ammonium ion and dust surface. These results underscore the importance of mineral composition and aging processes on atmospheric ice formation by dust.
