TY - JOUR AU - Moshinskii, A. AB - A mathematical model of continuous dissolution of salts in a liquid solution based on the crystal size distribution density function is considered. It is assumed that crystals have a spherical shape and the particle dissolution rate is a power-law function of the particle radius. A stationary solution is obtained, and its stability is analyzed. Features of the solution are noted for a particular case—batch process. For a nonstationary solution, the evolution equation for the undersaturation of the liquid solution is derived. An approximate analytical method for solving this equation is proposed; the solution found by this algorithm is quite close to that obtained by numerical methods. The concept of dissolution efficiency coefficient in continuous dissolution is introduced; analytical expressions for this coefficient are derived.
