Abstract:This study presents the kinetic modelling for cane sugar batch crystallization. The study is based on two approaches to describe the nucleation (homogeneous primary and secondary) and growth kinetics, and the birth and death rates of crystals: a) empirical models with equations of type power law (TPL) and b) mechanistic approach with thermodynamic equations. Both approaches, describing the phenomena of crystallization at the microscopic level (by solving population balance equation by method of lines), were va… Show more
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.
