The secondary nucleation process of 2,2-azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN) seeded crystallisation in methanol in a stirred tank reactor was studied at varying initial supersaturation levels, temperatures, crystal seed numbers, and stirrer speeds. The average secondary nucleation rate, induction time, and agglomeration ratio were measured using on-line microscopic imaging. The initial supersaturation level, temperature, and stirrer speed were found to be positively correlated with the secondary nucleation rate. A small change in the crystal seed number, i.e., 1-20, did not substantially affect the secondary nucleation rate throughout the secondary nucleation process. An increase in the initial supersaturation level and crystal seed number decreased the induction time, and an increase in the strength of agitation promoted the initiation of secondary nucleation at a stirring rate greater than 250 revolutions per minute (rpm). Temperature exerted a complex effect on the induction time. Regarding the agglomeration ratio, the initial supersaturation level positively correlated with the agglomeration ratio, while the stirrer speed negatively correlated with this parameter. Finally, based on the measured data, the average secondary nucleation rate, induction time, and final crystal suspension density were correlated. This study provides guidance for the control of supersaturation, induction time, stirring, and other factors in the crystal seed addition process in AIBN crystallisation.

Abstract The metastability of some phases of CsHSO4 and RbH2PO4 is due to the volume decrease at an endothermic phase transition which "locks in" the metastability in question. Water adsorption, which removes these metastabilities, probably exerts a "wedge-like" force which expands the lattice spacing in the surface layer, thus facilitating the start of the phase transition. The induction time and the zeroth order kinetics of the transition in RbH2PO4 are exponential functions of the water activity applied.

The model considered in part I is generalized to include growth mechanisms in which the chemical reaction which proceeds at the particle-atm osphere interface is reversible, so that molecules may evaporate from a particle as well as condense upon it. The Becker-Döring-Zeldovich-Frenkel theory of homogeneous nucleation kinetics is then reviewed in the light of the known statistical problem of the birth -and -death process, and an improved approximation is introduced which significantly alters the calculated results. Both steady-state nucleation kinetics and the time lag problem are discussed.
