Reaction precipitation of amorphous calcium phosphate: Population balance modelling and kinetics

- Reaction precipitation of calcium phosphate is studied in a Y-mixer-tubular reactor.
- The process is modelled by using a population balance model.
- The set of moment equations is solved by the quadrature method of moments.
- The particle size distribution is approximated by a corrected gamma distribution.
- The kinetic parameters are estimated by fitting the model to the experimental data.
