Abstract
The influence of the supersaturation and recycling conditions in order to control the efficiency of the process was studied. A high supersaturation level decreases the fluoride removal efficiency due to the formation of small particles (fines). The main mechanism concerning the precipitation of calcium fluoride in a fluidized bed was established. Fines were produced by nucleation in liquid phase (homogeneous and secondary nucleation) in the reactor and the dilute fluoride tank, in order to decrease the amount of fines it is very important the control of the supersaturation.
