Crystallization
Crystallization is an operation widely spread in the industry.
It concerns an important variety of products : pharmaceutical, farm-produce, chemical…
However, this operation remains delicate to run.
Proposed run aims to make sensitive the student in various parameters and variable occurring
in the application of a crystallization.
This study will allow, from material and thermal balances, to end on this unit operation
of the Chemical Processing.
Parameters influence
Temperature, stirring speed, concentration
Feeding flow rate influence
