Hi Everyone,
I have a quick question regarding seeding crystals in NaCl crystallization process. Our facility use the general multiple effect evaporator arrangement to produce NaCl and our seed crystals are (CaSO4) gypsum and fine NaCl crystals.
My question is "will an increase of seed loading/mass improve the NaCl crystallization rate/yield?"
I know that evaporation rate and brine quality are the key components of producing NaCl, I am just curious if seed crystals will have any impact on the yield? (I think it does, but do not have a solid evidence). I am also aware that seed crystals will impact its supersaturation and crystal growth/size.
Thanks,
Jordan
