This process involves removing the solvent to supersaturate the solution, thereby promoting the precipitation of calcium formate crystals.
[0003] During the evaporation of calcium formate solution, flaky crystal salts easily adhere to the inner surface of the crystallizer. As the equipment vibrates during operation, the flaky crystal salts fall off and enter the forced circulation pump, causing the pump current to fluctuate and increase.
