摘要:
A crystallizer for crystallizing solute contained in a solution has first (2) and second (1) communicating chambers, for the solution, and a heat exchanger (20) for keeping a state of supersaturation therein. A first circuit extracts from a calm zone (15) of the latter chamber a first stream of liquid containing small crystals and recycles this stream into the first chamber. A second circuit extracts from the second chamber a second stream of liquid containing coarse crystals and brings this second stream into the first chamber. The downstream end (26) of the first circuit runs into the second circuit so that the first and second liquid streams are made to flow in the same direction into said second circuit.

A method and installation for the production of a coarse-grained ammonium sulfate product by crystallization includes firstly generating a crystal having a grain smaller than the desired grain size in a pre-crystallizer and withdrawing a suspension therefrom, from which the fine crystal was previously separated in a classification connecting piece. This suspension, which contains medium-sized grain, is then conducted with a proportion of undersaturated mother liquor, which is sufficient for further crystal growth, into a DTB product crystallizer and crystallized therein to a desired grain size. The heating of the product crystallizer is performed by the heat contained in the vapors of the pre-crystallization. The pre-crystallization may also operate according to the DTB principle, wherein the mother liquor needed for crystallization is supplied in the form of separately admixed concentrated sulfuric acid and ammonia into the external solution loop of the pre-crystallizer. The reaction heat released in this case may be sufficient for the operation of the entire process.

摘要:
A system and method for producing salts using a crystallizer with an integrated column is disclosed. In the column, liquid, containing one reactant, absorbs a second reactant, from the gas stream. The second reactant reacts with the first reactant to produce salt. Liquid leaving the column and rich in salt, collects in the crystallizer. Conditions within the crystallizer promote nucleation and crystal growth. A recirculation system withdraws a portion of liquid from the crystallizer for introduction into the column.

DISCLOSED HEREIN IS AN IMPROVED METHOD FOR CRYSTALLIZING AMMONIUM SULPHATE, POTASSIUM NITRATE, OR POTASSIUM CHROMATE BY COOLING AN AQUEOUS SYSTEM WHEREIN ONE OF THESE THREE SALTS IS DISSOLVED. THE IMPROVEMENT COMPRISES ADDING A SMALL AMOUNT OF AN AMMONIUM, SODIUM, OR POTASSIUM ALKYLATED DIPHENYL ETHER MONO- OR DISULPHONATE TO THE CRYSTALLIZING SYSTEM. THE SULPHONATE IS CHARACTERIZED BY THE FORMULA: RN-(AR-O-AR)-(SO3-X)M WHEREIN THE ENCLOSED MOLECULAR NUCLEUS REPRESENTS A NONHALOGENATED DIARYL OXIDE IN WHICH AR IS A MONOCYCLIC AROMATIC RADICAL OF THE BENZENE SERIES, R IS A HYDROPHOBIC SUBSTITUENT CONTAINING FROM 8 TO 48 CARBON ATOMS, INCLUSIVE IN CONTINUOUS CARBON-CARBON BONDS, IS AN AN INTEGER FROM 1 TO 3, AND M IS AN INTEGER FROM 1 TO 2. THE "X" PORTION OF THE SULPHONATE GROUP IS A HYDROGEN DISPLACEABLE ION. SUITABLE IONS ARE SODIUM, POTASSIUM AND AMMONIUM. THE RESULTING CRYSTALS ARE LARGER AND MORE REGULARLY SHAPED THAN CRYSTALS PRODUCED BY PRIOR ART METHODS.

摘要:
The average size of ammonium sulfate crystals is increased by passing undersized ammonium sulfate crystals through a multistage apparatus in which the crystals are contacted with an aqueous ammonium sulfate spray in a first heated chamber to increase the average size of the crystals, the enlarged crystals thereafter passing through a second heated chamber to dry the enlarged crystals.
