9. Calculation of crystallization plants

Crystallizer sizing is based on the three balance equations discussed in this chapter:

  • the material balance equation ;

  • the heat balance equation ;

  • the population balance equation.

In this paragraph, two examples of crystallizer calculations are discussed: one for batch operation, the other for continuous operation.

9.1 Discontinuous cooling crystallization

Consider a crystallizer in which ammonium perchlorate is to be batch-recrystallized in water by cooling from 50°C to 20°C.

The operation is based on seeding.

It was...
