Crystallizers
Posted: Nov 17, 2018
Crystallization is a process of separating solid and liquid thus crystallizers are machine that works on the solid-liquid separation technique of forming solid crystals from a liquid solution, with the help of them we convert waste water into solid crystals and clean water. So, a crystallizer eliminates various liquid wastes to create zero liquid discharge also known as ZLD.
This complete process of crystallization is divided into two parts which is
- Primary nucleation
- Secondary nucleation.
The first part which is also known as primary nucleation involves the growth of new crystals and the other part also known as secondary nucleation perpetuates growth and thus second part is the main stage that causes mass production of crystals.
Cooling crystallizer
Cooling Crystallizer type of crystallizer works on crystallizers cooling method for converting liquid into crystals. Crystallizers cooling are mainly divided into two types:
- Vacuum Cooling Crystallizer
- Surface Cooling Crystallizer
Application
Cooling crystallizer is used for separation of Na?SO?, KCl, MgSO?, Dextrose Monohydrate and Honey.
Evaporative Crystallizer
Evaporative crystallizer type of crystallizer works on crystallizer evaporative process for converting liquid into crystals. Crystallizers evaporative are mainly divided into three Types:
Type
Particle size Produced
1. Forced Circulation Crystallizer
0.2 – 0.8 mm
2. Draft Tube Baffle (DTB) Crystallizer
0.8 – 2.5 mm
3. OSLO Type Crystallizer
1.5 – 5.0 mm
Applications:
Nacl, NH?Cl, (NH?)SO?, Sucrose
Waste water plants for chemicals / Pharmaceuticals
Oslo Crystallizer
Oslo type crystallizer is also termed as classified-suspension crystallizer. This type of crystallizer is one of the oldest designs developed for the production of large, coarse crystals.
The basic design criteria for this crystallizer are twofold:
- It provides help in DE supersaturation of the mother liquor by contact with the largest crystals present in the crystallization chamber
- It also support in keeping most of the crystals in suspension without contact by a stirring device, thus enabling the production of large crystals of narrow size distribution
Typical products are:
- NH4)2 SO4
- Na2SO4
- AgNO3
- hydrated mono sodium glutamate
- mono ammonium phosphate (MAP)
Vacuum Crystallizer
Vacuum crystallizers can be differentiate into two types that can be used to crystallize the solution they are continuous and batch crystallizer. Crystallizers vacuum uses condenser with a booster for maintaining a vacuum inside the crystallizer body. This vacuum supports to generate a supersaturated solution when very low operating temperatures are required.
Typical products are:
- NH4)2 SO4
