BATCH CRYSTALLIZER APPARATUS

Product Description

Description:

Crystallizationis the formation of solid particles within a homogeneous phase of saturatedliquid.

Itswide use has a two-fold basis, a crystal formed from an impure solution isitself pure and crystallization affords a practical method of separating.

Thisoperation involves both heat and mass transfer. Cooling type agitated batchcrystallizer set up consists of an open jacketed stirred vessel provided withwater heating & cooling arrangement.

Thefeed is prepared in the crystallizer itself with hot water and stirrer. The hotsaturated solution in the crystallizer is then cooled by circulation of coolingwater and crystals are formed.
