Three different salt crystals (K2SO4, KCl, and Na2SO4·10H2O) were produced via batch cooling and continuous crystallization using a bench‐scale crystallization device, in order to elucidate the mechanism of inclusion of the mother liquor as a function of crystal size. The inclusion ratio of the mother liquor was higher at small sizes and decreased with crystal growth. All results were represented by the previously proposed model of core‐aggregation and shell‐growth processes for the three different salt crystals. Crystals with small Vickers hardness aggregated with each other, and the inclusion ratio of the mother liquor of aggregated grown crystals was high for all three salt crystals tested herein.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
