Abstract
AbstractA discussion of modelling of nucleation and crystal growth kinetics is presented for those mixedsuspension, mixed product removal (MSMPR) crystallizer data available in the literature, for which log population density data appears to be a linear function of crystal size. The modelling crystallization kinetics is done twice – once assuming that the system is obeying McCabe's Δ law, and again when the crystals exhibit growth rate dispersion (GRD). In the latter case the gamma, inverse gamma, log‐normal, beta, Fisher, sum of two gammas, sum of two inverse gammas, sum of two log‐normal, and sum of two constant rates of growth rate dispersion models are used for crystal growth rate estimation. Finally, McCabe's and GRD predictions are compared with the size‐dependent growth rate estimations.
