How to Use This Calculator
- Enter the Initial Solution Mass in kg and the Initial Concentration as a mass fraction (e.g., 0.30 = 30% solute).
- Enter the Final Temperature in °C to which the solution will be cooled.
- Enter the Solubility at the Final Temperature in g/100g solvent — look this up in solubility tables or CRC Handbook for your solute.
- Set the Solvent Evaporation % if you are combining cooling and evaporation crystallization (evaporative crystallization).
- Read the Crystal Yield in kg and the Percent Recovery — higher recovery means less solute remains in the mother liquor.
- Use the Mother Liquor Mass to plan recycle or waste treatment of the remaining saturated solution.
