Consider 40,000 Ib/h (18,150 kg/h) of a 25 wt.% MgSO4 solution being fed at 200F (366K) to an evaporative crystallizer that boils off water
Consider 40,000 Ib/h (18,150 kg/h) of a 25 wt.% MgSO4 solution being fed at 200F (366K) to an evaporative crystallizer that boils off water at a rate of 15,000 Ib/h (6800 kg/h). The crystallizer is operated at 130F (327 K) under vacuum conditions. Determine the solid-phase composition and solid-phase production rate. Also, calculate the required energy addition rate for the process.
