A potassium chloride crystallizer that operates at 100°F has a fines dissolution loop where the slurry temperature is 130'F.'9 The solubility of
If the solution is initially supersaturated by 1.0 g/IOO g and the temperature is suddenly increased to 130"F, how long would it take to dissolve lO-.um crystals or 50-.um crystals if the change in solution concentration is neglected?
(b) If the average crystal size in the fines loop is 200 flm and the slurry has 30 g solid/L, how close to saturation would the solution be after 10 s at 130"F?
