Two thousand kilograms of a 94% NaNO3 solution in water is at a temperature of 100oC. This is sent to a crystallizer where it is cooled to 30oC. At this temperature, the solubility of NaNO3 is 86 g of NaNO3 per 100 g of water. Draw the process diagram. Calculate the amount of crystals that precipitate if 8% of the original water evaporates during cooling.
