Notes:
A systematic study of potassium chloride crystallization shows that constant tip speed, TIPS, is the agitation criterion for scale-up. Three hydrodynamic regions are identified by a group MT TIPS3. Thus, a new generalized kinetic equation is proposed: B° = KGi(MT TIPS)j.The values of the power index j are 0.7 and 1.2 for low and high ranges of MT TIPS3, respectively. At even higher MT TIPS3, j scatters due to the breakage of crystals. The power index i is independent of hydrodynamic conditions and depends only on the crystallization temperature, e.g., it is 2.8 at 313.2 K.
