Abstract
The behavior of concentration multiplicity has been explored for the case of a reactive precipitation process in a continuous isothermal mixed suspension−mixed product removal crystallizer. The process involves homogeneous chemical reaction in first-order reaction kinetics and subsequent crystallization of the product. The number of steady states in the reactive precipitator for various multiplicity regions is determined and exact uniqueness and multiplicity criteria, which are only dependent on the kinetic properties and operational parameters of the process, are developed by use of bifurcation theory. The linear stability of these steady states is analyzed by using the Routh criterion approach.
