Notes:
A continuous, staged-feed column crystallizer was investigated to obtain enlarged product size distribution in precipitation from solution. Stage population balances, in moment form, were solved analytically for several single-feed configurations. It was found that internal staging permits control of the solids concentration profile, and if collision nucleation is unimportant then countercurrent operation yields the greatest product size enlargement. Nucleation kinetic parameters for a given salt indicate the potential product size improvement, compared to product from an MSMPR crystallizer of equal volume.
