Description
The UOP14-MKII introduces students to the fundamentals of crystallisation using a solution cooling method. It is a benchtop unit
with a clear crystallisation reactor, which enables visualisation of the crystallisation phenomena.
The equipment consists of a jacketed crystallisation vessel provided with temperature control and agitation.
The solution is heated by circulating hot water through the jacket from the hot water vessel in a closed-loop system and the solution is cooled
by circulating cold water from mains water supply or a chiller.
At the end of the batch operation, the crystals and mother liquor are collected using the beaker supplied, fltered, washed and then dried
in the oven. The dried crystals are then sieved using the set of sieves supplied to analyse the crystal size distribution.
A conductivity sensor is included, which enables crystallisation to be monitored.
Different cooling rates can be investigated by the application of different water flow rates. A needle valve and flow meter are provided to vary the
water flow rate quickly and easily to enable investigation of different crystallisation conditions, such as
