Combined crystallization-particulate fouling dynamics in a forced circulation crystallizer
The heat exchanger of a FC crystallizer in Zero Liquid Discharge technology suffers reduced efficiency due to the deposition of suspended particles and dissolved ions on the tube surfaces. This research utilized a compartmental modeling, encompassing nucleation, growth, dissolution, and attrition, to examine the crystallization and particulate fouling of calcium carbonate in a FC heat exchanger over time. The impact of the deposit layer developed on the inside surface of the heat exchanger tube on heat transfer and crystallizer efficiency was examined. The results indicated that supersaturation in the calcium carbonate solution triggered the primary nucleation process in the bulk flow, rendering it resistant to further supersaturation. The reduction in supersaturation after about 2000 s (from about 1 to below 0.3) leads to a minimal degree of crystallization fouling. The increased number of calcium carbonate crystal nuclei via nucleation activation, facilitates particulate deposition mechanisms. Furthermore, several relevant parameters, including circulation flow rate, operating temperature, calcium carbonate feed concentration, purge flow rate, and crystallizer efficiency were explored. The circulation flow rate and condenser temperature were determined to be the principal factors affecting particulate fouling.
期刊介绍:
The journal offers a common reference and publication source for workers engaged in research on the experimental and theoretical aspects of crystal growth and its applications, e.g. in devices. Experimental and theoretical contributions are published in the following fields: theory of nucleation and growth, molecular kinetics and transport phenomena, crystallization in viscous media such as polymers and glasses; crystal growth of metals, minerals, semiconductors, superconductors, magnetics, inorganic, organic and biological substances in bulk or as thin films; molecular beam epitaxy, chemical vapor deposition, growth of III-V and II-VI and other semiconductors; characterization of single crystals by physical and chemical methods; apparatus, instrumentation and techniques for crystal growth, and purification methods; multilayer heterostructures and their characterisation with an emphasis on crystal growth and epitaxial aspects of electronic materials. A special feature of the journal is the periodic inclusion of proceedings of symposia and conferences on relevant aspects of crystal growth.
