Lead iodide was precipitated from aqueous solutions of 0.015 - 0.1 M Pb(NO3)2 and 0.03 - 0.2 M KI in the equimolar ratio using a laboratory model of a stirred continuous crystallizer at 22 °C. After reaching the steady state, the PbI2 crystal size distribution was measured sedimentometrically and the crystallization kinetics was evaluated based on the mean particle size. Both the linear crystal growth rate and the nucleation rate depend on the specific output of the crystallizer. The system crystallization constant either points to a significant effect of secondary nucleation by the mechanism of contact of the crystals with the stirrer blade, or depends on the concentrations of the components added due to the micromixing mechanism.

The dependence of the mean crystal size of the products from batch crystallizers on the batch time occasionally exhibits a maximum, which can be explained by secondary nucleation due to the attrition of crystals. A kinetic equatation of nucleation, comprising a term for crystal attrition, can be used for the theoretical description of such behaviour. A mathematical model of a batch crystallizer with crystal attrition has been verified on the calcium sulfate precipitation.

Abstract The aim of this work was to evaluate the crystal size distribution (CSD) and microscopy of the crystalline phase in isothermal lactose crystallization, using a high seeding concentration (dense phase). In-line monitoring was carried out using Focused Beam Reflectance Measurement (FBRM) and Particle Vision Measurement (PVM) probes in a stainless steel trunk-conical shaped jacketed crystallizer. The vibratory shaking system consisted of two perforated discs coupled to a movable axle. A conventional crystallization unit, with a three-blade propeller attached to a stainless steel shaft, was used for comparison. Concentrated cheese whey, purified with an organic coagulant, and commercial lactose solutions were used. Crystallization was improved in the high-purity solutions. Microparticles and/or aggregates appeared before seeding, mainly in the purified cheese whey solution, in which there are impurities. Secondary nucleation was present in both the vibratory agitation and conventional rotary agitation systems, being intensified by increases in agitation. Crystallization in a vibratory system should be carried out with a vibration frequency of 250 rpm, since an increase to 400 rpm reduced the amount of larger crystals.

The metastable zone between the solubility curve and the crystallisation curve can be divided into two regions, separated by the secondary nucleation threshold.

This study evaluated Al-ZSM-5 nanocrystals grown from silicalite-1 seed crystals as catalysts for the methane dehydroaromatization (MDA) reaction. Silicalite-1 seed crystals sized between 30 and 40 nm were used to grow Al-ZSM-5 under various synthesis conditions. The size of Al-ZSM-5 was significantly affected by the Si/Al ratio (SAR), synthesis time, and silica nutrients/seed crystal ratio (NSR). Larger crystals were obtained with an increased SAR in the synthesis sols. Gradual growth of Al-ZSM-5 occurred with synthesis time, although the growth in crystal size ceased at 5 h of synthesis at 120 °C, indicating the rapid growth of Al-ZSM-5 aided by the silicalite-1 seeds. Precise tuning of Al-ZSM-5 size was possible by changing the nutrient/silicalite-1 seed ratio; a higher NSR led to larger crystals. Two representative Al-ZSM-5 crystals with SARs of 35 and 140 were prepared for catalyst testing, and the crystal sizes were tailored to <100 nm by controlling NSR. The MDA reaction was conducted in the presence of the prepared Al-ZSM-5. The catalyst size exhibited distinct differences in catalyst stability, while the SAR of catalysts did not produce noticeable changes in the catalyst stability of the Al-ZSM-5 crystals and commercial zeolites in this reaction system.
