Abstract
This paper primarily
focused on the process design of struvite (MgNH4PO4.6H2O)
crystallization in fed-batch system based on thermodynamics and
kinetics. Predominant thermodynamic parameters relates to the
solution chemistry of struvite, which includes
complexes among magnesium, ammonium and phosphate. The
kinetics parameters involved mass deposition, size of the growing
crystal. This paper then included thermodynamic of ligand (citrate) to
identify the effect of ligands on struvite growth kinetics as well as
solution
chemistry.
