The ultrasonic frequency was set at 40kHz and the output power was maintained at 120W throughout the process. After approximately 39 hours of crystallization, the rhenium content in the solution stabilized, and the crystallization process was completed. The final crystallized product was dried and tested for particle size, revealing a 100% pass rate through a 200-mesh sieve. The calculated crystallization yield was 79.6%, achieving the desired results. A comparison of the results with conventional crystallization data under the same conditions revealed significant advantages in terms of production time, product particle size, and crystallization rate. The improvement in ammonium rhenate particle size was most significant.
