Crystal Growth Kinetics of Calcite in a Dense Fluidized-Bed Crystallizer
نویسندگان
چکیده
The growth kinetics of calcite crystals are studied in a batch-fluidized-bed crystallizer, which is maintained at a constant pH. The growth experiments are conducted in the metastable region explored as part of this research. The crystal growth rates are e®aluated from the consumption rates of calcium ions, using the cured natural calcite or silica sand as seeding materials. Se®eral operation ®ariables are in®estigated, including supersaturation, pH, ionic strength, superficial ®elocity, and particle size and type of seed. The significant factors that affect the crystal growth rate are identified. Then the crystal growth data of constant pH and ionic strength are analyzed by the two-step growth model. The mass-transfer coefficients are obtained and compared at ®arious crystal sizes and superficial ®elocities. Finally, a growth-rate equation of calcite crystal, which is based on the two-step growth model, is proposed for design purposes.

Determination of Crystal Growth Rate and Morphology of Barium Carbonate Crystals in a Semi-batch Crystallizer
A semi-batch crystallization system is used to determine growth kinetics and morphology of barium carbonate crystals, under a constant pH value and constant temperature in the various relative supersaturations. Results show that crystal growth rate satisfies a first-order kinetic expression at high relative supersaturation, while at relative supersaturation values lower than 3, the k...

متن کاملBubble formation on a single orifice in a gas solid fluidized bed using digital image analysis
Digital Image Analysis (DIA) has been employed to characterize the time evolution of a bubble injected from a single orifice into a pseudo 2-dimansional gas-solid fluidized bed. The injected bubble diameter increased with the square root of time before detachment. During bubble free flight in the bed, its diameter remains approximately constant. The center of mass of the bubble increases with t...
