Abstract
Crystallization kinetics of ammonium sulfate crystals are determined in a 25-L draft tube baffled, agitated crystallizer from a series of batch cooling experiments performed in an integral mode. The method of s-plane analysis for relative nucleation kinetics and the method of initial derivatives for growth rate kinetics are used to establish conventional kinetic expressions. A simulation technique is developed to calculate the product population density functions for the same system in a seeded cooling batch crystallizer configuration.Keywords
