• In a process producing KNO3 salt, 1000 kg/h of a feed solution containing 20 wt % KNO 3 is fed to
an evaporator, which evaporates some water at 422 K to produce a 50 wt % KNO 3 solution. This
is then fed to a crystallizer at 311 K, where crystals of KNO 3 are removed with adhering
saturated solution. The KNO3 crystals account for 96% of the total mass of the filter cake. The
saturated solution containing 37.5 wt % KNO 3 is recycled to the evaporator. Calculate the
amount of the recycle stream R in kg/h and the product stream of crystals P in kg/h.
