Factors affecting crystallization
Thread Content
What are the factors that affect crystallization?
There are too many factors: mixing speed and method, whether seeds are used; temperature and the rate at which it decreases; purity of the mother solution; purity of the solvents and solutions used, and the length of time required for crystallization
The temperature, concentration, flow rate of the medium, as well as the diameter of the pipeline, etc.!
What was mentioned above are all the traditional factors that are well known. In addition to these, by applying external fields such as electric fields or magnetic fields during the crystallization process, you might achieve unexpected results.
Saturability is the driving force behind crystal growth; growing crystals at a constant, appropriate level of saturability ensures the acquisition of high-quality crystals. Therefore, any factor that can affect the aforementioned conditions will impact the normal progression of crystallization. In actual production, due to the involvement of mass transfer and heat transfer issues, there are even more factors that come into play, all of which need to be examined through experience or experiments.
Ugh, is this area really used to discuss technical issues?
