The batch cooling crystallization experiments were performed in a 3.2 L jacketed glass crystallizer with a U-shaped bottom. The diameter of the crystallizer was 150 mm with a height of 200 mm. The batch vessel was equipped with an anchor type agitator. An agitator of diameter 100 mm, height 60 mm and width 22 mm was used. The agitator was placed at a height of 15 mm from the bottom of the crystallizer. All experiments were performed at 38 rpm to ensure all the crystals were maintained in suspension. The temperature in the crystallizer was controlled with a programmable thermostat. A constant batch size of 2 kg of slurry was used in all experiments.
