B. Farkas et al., CHARACTERIZATION OF MIXING OF SUSPENSION IN A MECHANICALLY STIRRED PRECIPITATION SYSTEM, Journal of crystal growth, 166(1-4), 1996, pp. 1064-1067
Ln the case of precipitational crystallization, the particle size dist
ribution of the resulting product is greatly influenced by the mixing
rate of the system. We have worked out a method of characterizing the
mixing of precipitated suspensions by applying a function of mean resi
dence time and particle size distribution. For the experiments a preci
pitated suspension of beta-lactam-type antibiotic has been used in a m
echanically stirred tank.
