Batch Cooling Crystallization of Plate-like Crystals: A Simulation Study
Abstract
In the paper, batch cooling crystallization of plate-like crystals is investigated by numerical experimentation. The population balance approach is used to describe a seeded crystallization process, developing a bivariate morphological population balance model including nucleation and size dependent crystal growth. The population balance equation is reduced to a system of equations for the bivariate mixed moments of internal variables, which are solved by means of the quadrature method of moments. A sensitivity analyses is carried out to investigate the effects of the process parameters on dynamic evolution of particulate properties including the characteristic mean particle size and shape.
