Growth rate dispersion in seeded batch sucrose crystallization

• The object of this study was to compare the results of batch suspension and photomicroscopic cell experiments on growth rate dispersion of sucrose seed crystals to determine the relative effects of GRD in the two different environments. This was done by observing the change in CSD of the seed distribution in the batch suspension crystallizer, while simultaneously monitoring the individual growth rates of an identical seed sample in the photomicroscopic cell. It is found that seeds growing in a stirred suspension batch crystallizer also exhibit growth rate dispersion, as evidenced by the increasing width of the CSD with time.
