Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a high-quality crystal without any flaw in spite of its rapid growth by controlling the velocity of an upward current on the outside of a draft tube. CONSTITUTION:When an impeller 18 is rotated in the crystallizer 1 provided with the draft tube 4 and a baffle plate 7, an downward current is formed on the inside of the draft tube 4, an upward current is generated on the outside, and a circulating current is formed between the inside and outside of the draft tube 4. The flow velocity of the upward current on the outside of the draft tube 4 is sufficiently decreased by adjusting the r.p.m. of the impeller 18 and the pitch angle of the impeller, hence the crystal of the size visible from the outside and floated up by the upward current to some extent does not overflow the upper end of the draft tube 4, and the crystal is not circulated along with the upward current. As a result, a high-quality crystal without any flaw can be produced in spite of its rapid growth.

When the stirring blades 18 are rotated, a downward flow is generated inside the draft tube 4 and an upward flow is generated outside the draft tube 4, as shown by the arrow 20 in FIG. Since the upper and lower ends each make a U-turn, a circulating flow is generated that circulates between the inside and outside of the draft tube as a whole. The upward flow outside the draft tube is controlled at a sufficiently slow flow rate and is large enough to be visible from the outside, with a diameter of 0.1ml.
Even if the crystals having a size of about 1 or more are slightly blown up by the upward flow, they do not cross the upper end of the draft tube and circulate with the circulation flow. This can be confirmed by observing the flow state of the circulating flow through a glass window (not shown) provided on the outer wall of the crystal can at the same height as the upper end of the draft tube 4. The flow rate of the upward flow is controlled by adjusting the rotation speed and/or blade pitch angle of the stirring blades 18.

As shown in the figure, it accumulates in the lower part of the crystallizer except for the part directly below the stirring blade, and crystals grow by crystallization. Therefore, since the crystal 19 does not come into contact with the stirring blade 18, the crystal 19 is not damaged, and the liquid is sufficiently circulated, so that the crystal grows sufficiently quickly.
