Abstract The precipitation of copper oxalate has been studied in a batch reactor. Like many other systems, the morphology of these particles suggests that they were formed by an aggregation mechanism. A mathematical model has been developed to predict particle-size distributions grown in a batch reactor, which accounts for growth by two competing mechanisms, i.e., atomistic growth and particle aggregation. The results of this model are in good agreement with experimental observations for the precipitation of copper oxalate aggregates and other spherical aggregation systems cited in the literature.
