Basis 100 KG of Feed Solution Cool To 17 /100 KG H MW of Feed Solution 130.6 Kg/kmol MW of S Solution 108.6 Kg/kmol

The document describes a process to crystallize barium nitrate (Ba(NO3)2) from an aqueous solution. Based on a feed of 100 kg of solution containing 30.6 kg of Ba(NO3)2 and cooling to 17°C, it is calculated that the solution mass after cooling would be 83.15 kg with 16.85 kg of Ba(NO3)2 crystals formed. A second part of the document shows equations in an Excel calculation to determine the crystal yield for different fractions of water evaporated from the solution.
