Precipitation and Crystallization Processes
Precipitation and Crystallization Processes Gordon Jarvenin Los Alamos National Laboratory Introduction Precipitation and Crystallization refer to unit operations that generate a solid from a supersaturated solution. The non-equilibrium supersaturated condition can be induced in a variety of ways such as removal of solvent by evaporation, addition of another solvent, changes of temperature or pressure, addition of other solutes, oxidation-reduction reactions, or even combinations of these. The distinction between Precipitation and Crystallization is quite often based on the speed of the process and the size of the solid particles produced. The term Precipitation commonly refers to a process which results in rapid solid formation that can give small crystals that may not appear crystalline to the eye, but still may give very distinct x-ray diffraction peaks.
references also describe some of the vast array of equipment used to perform industrial precipitation and crystallization processes including batch and continuous operation.
