摘要
Agglomeration of gibbsite (Al(OH)(3)) crystals is an important stage of the Bayer process. In the present study, using a crystallizer working at constant supersaturation with time, we determine the agglomeration kinetics of gibbsite as a function of different experimental parameters. The effect of the crystallization temperature, supersaturation, seed mass, stirring rate and seed size is investigated. An interpretation of the results is proposed, they are also compared with previous results drawn from the literature. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
