| Abstract: | A new highly flexible batch crystallizer control system and suite of software using a BBC model B microcomputer to programme the cooling rate and log data is described. The programs were tested satisfactorily with the cooling crystallization of potassium sulphate solutions. Both linear and controlled cooling increased the mean crystal size with lower coefficient of variation compared to natural cooling crystallization with a consequent improvement in filtrability characteristics. |
