Secondary nucleation of magnesium sulfate and citric acid was studied in a seeded back mixed crystallizer. The MSMPR type of exponential population density distribution was obtained above 8 μm size in quasi steady state operation. Growth rates were satisfactorily correlated with supersaturation. Nucleation rates correlated with supersaturation and slurry properties. Agitation level (RPM) did not have any significant effect on the nucleation rates, presumably implying surface regeneration limited nucleation.
