Crystallization: Definition and
Industrial Importance
3 types:
!itated Batch Crystallizer
Water is circulated
through the cooling
coils and the solution
is agitated by the
propellers mounted
on the central shaft.
+D$+'T+,E):
l. Large saving in floor space.
2. Large saving in material in process.
3. Saving in labor.
4. Free from inclusions and aggregations.
DI)+D$+'T+,E):
l. The product generally have a somewhat wide crystal-
size distribution.
$ulff-Bock Crystallizer
lt has similar characteristics
as that of the Swenson-
Walker crystallizer,
however, it depends on air
cooling.
lt consists of a shallow
trough set inclined and
mounted on rollers so that it
can be rocked from side to
side.
+D$+'T+,E:
lt gives more uniform crystals as compared to Swenson-
Walker Crystallizer.
.
DI)+D$+'T+,E:
The slow rate of cooling in this crystallizer results in low
capacity.
