About BATCH CRYSTALLIZER APPARATUS

Specification:

BATCH CRYSTALLIZER APPARATUS

Description:

Crystallization is the formation ofsolid particles within a homogeneous phase of saturated liquid.

Its wide use has a two-fold basis, acrystal formed from an impure solution is itself pure and crystallizationaffords a practical method of separating.

This operation involves both heat andmass transfer. Cooling type agitated batch crystallizer set up consists of anopen jacketed stirred vessel provided with water heating & coolingarrangement.

The feed is prepared in thecrystallizer itself with hot water and stirrer. The hot saturated solution inthe crystallizer is then cooled by circulation of cooling water and crystalsare formed.

Experimentation:

To study the performance of a BatchCrystallizer.

To determine the crystal yield andthe efficiency of crystallizer.
