a) List the groups in which crystals in a crystalliser may originate. Discuss any ONE (1) group. [6 Marks] b) It is required to produce potassium sulphate crystals of dominant size Lo=0.6mm at a rate of 1000 kg/h in a MSMPR crystalliser. The nucleation rate has been experimentally obtained B° = 4 x 10¹8M-G² per m³ per second. Calculate the crystalliser volume. [7 Marks] DATA: magma density, Mr = 240 kg/m3 slurry; area shape factor of the crystal, , -3.8; density of the crystal p. = 2660 kg/m³
