Notes:
The following nucleation rate and growth rate relationships for the aqueous, continuous, cooling crystallization of potassium dichromate were determined from experimental crystal size distributions: J = 3.9 × 1010 (C - Ceq)0.9; r = 3.0 × 103 (C - Ceq)1.7. Since nucleation rate is of lower kinetic order than growth rate, higher levels of supersaturation will yield crystal distributions with a larger mean size. Therefore for this system, batch or plug-flow reactors are preferred to continuous-stirred tanks.
