Notes:
A 30% concentrated permeate of a whey ultrafiltration process was used for producing crystalline a-lactose monohydrate. Effect of pH (2.75–5.5 pH units) at solvent to solute ratio 10:1 v/w, agitation and seeding (0.004–0.02%) on rate of lactose crystallization were examined. Conditions which were favorable in terms of crystallized lactose yield, and time of crystallization were: pH 5.5, agitation with or without seeding and 22°C. The first-order reaction-rate constant for crystallization ranged from 0.0178 to 0.200 hr−1 depending on conditions.
