Abstract

An analysis of batch evaporative crystallizers is presented for different modes of operation using the Bransom crystal growth rate model and a power law nucleation rate model. A mathematical description for the process configuration and also some numerical solutions for the potassium sulphate—water system are presented. This information will be useful in evaluating the performance of batch evaporative crystallizers.

    However, for bulk industrial crystallization processes, knowledge of the mean crystal size is often sufficient and a complete CSD is not required. Also, the ease of implementation of MOM has made it a very popular technique to model crystallization systems (Markande et al., 2009; Tavare and Chivate, 1977; Ward and Yu, 2008). For a detailed crystal size distribution analysis of the same crystallizer, refer to Agrawal et al. (2015), in which the discretized population balance is solved to predict the entire size distribution and compared with the measured CSD.

    Larson and Garside (1973) derived an optimal evaporative rate based on the assumption of constant supersaturation and growth rate, coupled with negligible nucleation. Tavare and Chivate (1977) employed the same principles as Larson and Garside (1973) for the batch evaporative crystallization of the potassium sulfate–water system. Based on the same principles, Genck (2000) proposed a general methodology, which incorporated an experimental procedure to optimize the seeded batch evaporative crystallization.
