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 کاملKinetics Influence of Operation Conditions on Crystal Growth of Calcium Nitrate Tetrahydrate in a Circulating Fluidized Bed
In order to improve the traditional freezing crystallization process of calcium nitrate in nitric phosphate process, crystal growth experiments by adding Ca(NO3)2·4H2O seeds in supersaturated calcium nitrate solution in a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) crystallizer were carried out on crystal growth kinetics. The results showed that the growth of C...
متن کاملNucleation and droplet growth from supersaturated vapor at temperatures below the triple point temperature.
In 1897 Ostwald formulated his step rule for formation of the most stable crystal state for a system with crystal polymorphism. The rule describes the irreversible way a system converts to the crystal with lowest free energy. But in fact the irreversible way a supercooled gas below the triple point temperature Ttr.p. crystallizes via a liquid droplet is an example of Ostwald's step rule. The ho...
متن کاملThe Growth of Crystals of Low Supersaturation
Growth of low energy planes of perfect crystals at low supersaturation requires two-dimensional nucleation. The formation energy of nuclei of i atoms may be written G’( = -ikT In cc+G,(i), where G( is the saturation ratio. An atomistic evaluation of G,, for a simple model, is in good agreement with the classical form G,(i) = iiD’, with a constant edge energy coefficient b’, even for very small ...
متن کامل A novel approach to automatic position calibration for pixelated crystals in gamma imaging
Introduction: The position estimation in gamma detection system will have constant misplacements which can be corrected in the calibration procedure. In the pixelated crystal uniformly irradiation of detector will produce irregular shape due to position estimation errors. This image is called flood field image and is used to calibrate the position estimation. In this work we pr...
