| description abstract | A population balance model was developed to simulate simultaneous precipitation and flocculation during precipitative softening. Rate coefficients for nucleation, crystal growth, and flocculation were extracted from experimental particle-size distribution (PSD) data based on changes in the total number and total volume of particles. Three models of flocculation were evaluated: rectilinear, curvilinear, and an empirical size-independent model. Model simulations were compared with experimental PSD data to test which model was most appropriate. The curvilinear precipitative flocculation model was superior when seeded precipitation occurred at moderate mixing intensities | |
