Evaluation of growth rate constants of oxalic acid dihydrate at constant supersaturation.
It is shown that at constant supersaturation during crystallization of oxalic acid dihydrate, the growth rate equation can be solved in closed form. At low degrees of supersaturation, where nucleation is negligible, the depletion of solute from solution is described by a cube root relationship and allows for calculation of the growth rate constant.
