a semi-batch crystallization system is used to determine growth kinetics and morphology of barium carbonate crystals, under a constant ph value and constant temperature in the various relative supersaturations. results show that crystal growth rate satisfies a first-order kinetic expression at high relative supersaturation, while at relative supersaturation values lower than 3,  the kinetic exp...

A semi-batch crystallization system is used to determine growth kinetics and morphology of barium carbonate crystals, under a constant pH value and constant temperature in the various relative supersaturations. Results show that crystal growth rate satisfies a first-order kinetic expression at high relative supersaturation, while at relative supersaturation values lower than 3,  the k...

Satellite data from the Atmospheric Infrared Sounder (AIRS) is analyzed to examine regions of the upper troposphere that are supersaturated: where the relative humidity (RH) is greater than 100%. AIRS data compare well to other in situ and satellite observations of RH and provide daily global coverage up to 200 hPa, though satellite observations of supersaturation are highly uncertain. The clim...

The circadian rhythm of the urinary saturation of uric acid, sodium acid urate, and ammonium acid urate was studied in 5 normal healthy male volunteers before and during 5 days of treatment with sodium-potassium citrate (1 g t.i.d., 1 g q.i.d., or 3 g t.i.d.). Urinary saturation was estimated on the relative supersaturation scale of Marshall and Robertson. Uric acid relative supersaturation var...

A new method is described for studying reproducibly, the kinetics of crystallization of calcium fluoride under conditions of constant solution composition. The method can be used even at very low supersaturation. The rate is proportional to the square of the supersaturation, over the range of relative supersaturation, S = 0.20 1.66. The results point to a surface controlled crystallization. The...

1. Dietary calcium restriction, an efficient practice in reducing urinary calcium excretion, has been reported to induce either an increase or no change in oxalate excretion, questioning its use in hypercalciuric stone-forming patients. In addition, calcium restriction has been previously demonstrated to induce other urinary changes which might influence the relative supersaturation of calcium ...

In order to improve the traditional freezing crystallization process of calcium nitrate in nitric phosphate process, crystal growth experiments by adding Ca(NO3)2·4H2O seeds in supersaturated calcium nitrate solution in a Circulating Fluidized Bed (CFB) crystallizer were carried out on crystal growth kinetics. The results showed that the growth of C...

The aim of this contribution is a survey of different nucleation and growth kinetics terms effects on modeling results of KNO3 Continuous Mixed Suspension Mixed Product Removal (CMSMPR) crystallizer. By studying the four different states in modeling, results show that, although these terms for similar crystallization system and operating conditions are similar, there is very different dynamic b...
