Abstract
The analysis of a batch dilution crystallizer is presented for different modes of operation using the Bransom crystal growth rate model and power law nucleation rate model. This analysis is used for potassium sulphate crystallization from aqueous solution using ethanol as a diluent. The process configuration is analysed over a wide range of variables in each mode of operation and suitable value of the operating variable is suggested for better and safer performance of a given batch dilution crystallizer.
