Assume that CuSO4 -5H2O is to be crystallized in an ideal product- classifying

crystallizer. A 1.4mm product is desired. The growth rate is estimated to be
0.2microm/s. The geometric constant alpha is 0.2, and the density of the crystal is
2300kg/hr. A magma consistency of 0.35m3 of crystals per cubic m of mother liquor
is to be used. What is the production rate, in kg crystals per hr percubic meter of
mother liquour, what rate of nucleation, in number per hour per cubic meter of
mother liquor, is needed?
Ans. production rate= 1656 kg/ hr-m3, 1.312x10^9 nuclei/h-m3

Ans. 6 sections of every 3m length
