Supersaturation chemicals
Q: How do I obtain supersaturation for chemicals in which solubility increases with temperature until after a point, it decreases? What type of supersaturation is it?
A: Supersaturation is always defined as what is in excess in the mother liquor versus what should be there based on the thermodynamics and solubility curve, regardless of the temperature. It is highly unusual to have a reversal in solubility trend with an increase in temperature. Perhaps you are dealing with hydrates, solvates or even polymorphs.

Tips For Crystallizing Glucose Syrup
I am using batch agitated crystallizers to crystallize glucose syrup by cooling. The problem is different crystals are obtained using the same set ups. In the first instance, large crystals are formed and sometimes small amounts of crystals are formed that have an impact when filtering the magma. How will I go about determining the amount of water in the magma?
Crystallization of hydrates
I am carrying out crystallization of hydrates by evaporation. I have a slurry at 70ºC and I want to separate the crystals from the slurry. The problem is that as soon as I start filtration, it is exposed to an atmospheric temp and agglomeration and the transformation of crystals take place. Will you please suggest a way to get rid of this? The set up is for a 200-ml batch reactor. I stop crystallization and then I start filtration by pouring the slurry into a filtration funnel. Instead of filtration, agglomeration takes place.

Relative supersaturation for calcium oxalate monohydrate
I came across the relative supersaturation for calcium oxalate monohydrate (Ca2C2O4.H2O) as 1.2. How does one come up with that figure? How was it calculated?
Atomizer nozzle for reaction crystallization
For reaction crystallization in a semi-batch reactor setup, if a atomizer nozzle is attached to the feed pipe, would the product quality be affected? If yes, in what ways? Would it improve mixing, and thereby selectivity?
