M. Karel et al., CRYSTALLIZATION OF PENTAERYTHRITOL .1. SOLUBILITY, DENSITY AND METASTABLE ZONE WIDTH, Collection of Czechoslovak Chemical Communications, 59(6), 1994, pp. 1261-1269
Solubility of pentaerythritol in water has been determined using liter
ature data, the polythermal method and the dry residue method. Densiti
es of its aqueous solutions have been measured using a pycnometer. Kin
etics of crystallization of the pentaerythritol has been determined in
laboratory experiments. In this paper, metastable zone width measurem
ents have been employed for the assessment of the primary nucleation r
ate.
