About This Product
Crystallisation forms solid particles from a saturated liquid and involves both heat and mass transfer. It is widely used because a crystal formed from an impure solution is itself pure. In a Swenson Walker type unit, the hot solution moves slowly along a cooled, stirred trough, and the crystals settle at the bottom, where they can be washed out at the end of the run. Students use it to find the crystal yield and the efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1. Which experiments can be done on the Swenson Walker Crystallizer?
The listed experiments are to study the performance of the crystallizer and to determine the crystal yield and the efficiency of the crystallizer.
Q2. How does the Swenson Walker Crystallizer work continuously?
The hot saturated solution is fed at one end of the trough, flows slowly towards the other end while being cooled, and then flows back into the hot feed tank.
