ABSTRACT

Continuous production of materials is an important industrial process. For continuous chemical processes and crystallizations, the controlled continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR), or mixed-suspension, mixed-product-removal (MSMPR) system, and the stop-flow system are preferred for controlled crystallizations. The present work concentrates on the CSTR (MSMPR) crystallizer and on the effect of varying crystal solubility on the crystal size. A schematic sketch of a CSTR reactor for precipitation of silver bromide is shown in Figure 9.1.
