Crystallization of Calcium Sulphate During Phosphoric Acid Production: Modeling Particle Shape and Size Distribution

A key unit operation in the production of phosphoric acid is the filtration needed to separate calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO₄·2H₂O, gypsum) crystals from an acid slurry. The filtration efficiency depends on the shape and size distribution (SSD) of the gypsum crystals produced from the upstream re...
