Includes bibliographical references. The efficiency of gravitational separation in a staged continuous Eutectic Freeze Crystallization process is largely influenced by the quality of solid products exiting the crystallizer. The particle size distribution and shape of the crystalline products affect the efficiency of the washing and filtration steps hence the ultimate purity of the product water and or salts. These characteristics are the net effect of the crystallizer operating conditions such as the level of supersaturation, residence time and magma density. In order to control the mentioned product characteristics, the mechanistic interaction of crystallizer operating conditions and product morphology and size needs to be understood. This work was aimed at investigating the effect of residence time and supersaturation on the product quality in continuous Eutectic Freeze Crystallization and a 2L glass crystallizer equipped with scrapers was employed for the investigations. 2014-07-31T11:13:12Z 2014-07-31T11:13:12Z 2013 Master Thesis Masters MSc http://hdl.handle.net/11427/5366 eng application/pdf Department of Chemical Engineering Faculty of Engineering and the Built Environment University of Cape Town |
