Problem 12.11-1
Crystallization of Ba(NO3)2. A hot solution of
Ba(NO3)2 from an evaporator contains 30.6 kg
Ba(NO3)2/100 kg H2O and goes to a crystallizer,
where the solution is cooled and Ba(NO3)2
crystallizes. On cooling, 10% of the original water
present evaporates. For a feed solution of 100 kg
total, calculate the following:
a. The yield of crystals if the solution is cooled
toSet290
K (17C), where the solubility 2
is 8.6 kg
