Supersaturation
Solubility curves
• Solubility defines the concentration of
a solution in which it is saturated.
• Saturated solution is at equilibrium.
• Solubility usually varies with the
temperature. Most substances are
more soluble at higher temperatures,
but there are some exceptions, for
example HCl and NH3.
• Solubilities can be expressed in
solubility curves.
• The temperature is on the x-axis and
y-axis indicates the amount of
the solute dissolved in 100 grams of
solvent.
Solubility curves for several compounds.
(CK-12 Foundation,Christopher Auyeung)
Solubility of sugars and sugar alcohols in water
Levels of supersaturation
• When the solution contains more than
the maximum amount of the solute, it
is called a supersaturated solution.
• Supersaturated solution is not at
equilibrium.
• When the level of supersaturation
is lightly increased, the solution gets
metastable.
• If the cooling is proceeded, the solution
achieves the supersaturation limit
and becomes unstable.
Driving force
• Supersaturation is a driving force for
crystallization.
• Spontaneous nucleation may only
occur above the supersaturation limit.
• In industrial crystallization, nucleation
is usually initiated by crystal seeds at
the metastable zone. That is where
the crystal growth also appears.
• Crystallization may continue to the
saturation curve at the most.
Expressions of supersaturation
• There are several ways to express the level of supersaturation. The most
commonly used are:
Concentration driving force ∆𝑐 = 𝑐 − 𝑐∗
Supersaturation ratio S =
𝑐
𝑐∗
Relative supersaturation 𝜎 =
∆𝑐
𝑐∗
= 𝑆 − 1
It is essential to mention the temperature, because solubility is temperature
dependent.
c = solution
concentration
c* = concentration of the
saturated solution at the
given temperature
Example: Level of supersaturation
• Solubility of sucrose in water is 2040 g/kg of water at 20 °C. Let c = 2450 g/kg.
Concentration driving force ∆𝑐 = 𝑐 − 𝑐∗
= 2450
g
kg
− 2040
g
kg
= 410
g
kg
Supersaturation ratio S =
𝑐
𝑐∗
=
2450 g/kg
2040 g/kg
≈ 1.20
Relative supersaturation 𝜎 =
∆𝑐
𝑐∗
=
410 g/kg
2040 g/kg
≈ 0.20
Alternative calculation 𝜎 = 𝑆 − 1 = 1.20 − 1 = 0.20
Different units of concentration
• It is essential to take into consideration the units of concentration used.
They affect the obtained values as shown in the table below.
• Let’s use the same values asc in the previous example (sucrose in water at 20
°C, c* = 2040 g/kg and c = 2450 g/kg). Molar mass of sucrose M ≈ 342 g/mol.
Solution densities ρc* = 1330 kg/m3 and ρc = 1360 kg/m3.

g/kg water 2450 2040 410 1.20 0.20
g/kg solution 710 671 39 1.06 0.06
g/l solution 966 893 73 1.08 0.08

Supersaturation in crystallization

  • 1. This project has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement No 869993. Supersaturation
  • 2. Solubility curves • Solubility defines the concentration of a solution in which it is saturated. • Saturated solution is at equilibrium. • Solubility usually varies with the temperature. Most substances are more soluble at higher temperatures, but there are some exceptions, for example HCl and NH3. • Solubilities can be expressed in solubility curves. • The temperature is on the x-axis and y-axis indicates the amount of the solute dissolved in 100 grams of solvent. Solubility curves for several compounds. (CK-12 Foundation,Christopher Auyeung)
  • 3. Solubility of sugars and sugar alcohols in water
  • 4. Levels of supersaturation • When the solution contains more than the maximum amount of the solute, it is called a supersaturated solution. • Supersaturated solution is not at equilibrium. • When the level of supersaturation is lightly increased, the solution gets metastable. • If the cooling is proceeded, the solution achieves the supersaturation limit and becomes unstable.
  • 5. Driving force • Supersaturation is a driving force for crystallization. • Spontaneous nucleation may only occur above the supersaturation limit. • In industrial crystallization, nucleation is usually initiated by crystal seeds at the metastable zone. That is where the crystal growth also appears. • Crystallization may continue to the saturation curve at the most.
  • 6. Expressions of supersaturation • There are several ways to express the level of supersaturation. The most commonly used are: Concentration driving force ∆𝑐 = 𝑐 − 𝑐∗ Supersaturation ratio S = 𝑐 𝑐∗ Relative supersaturation 𝜎 = ∆𝑐 𝑐∗ = 𝑆 − 1 It is essential to mention the temperature, because solubility is temperature dependent. c = solution concentration c* = concentration of the saturated solution at the given temperature
  • 7. Example: Level of supersaturation • Solubility of sucrose in water is 2040 g/kg of water at 20 °C. Let c = 2450 g/kg. Concentration driving force ∆𝑐 = 𝑐 − 𝑐∗ = 2450 g kg − 2040 g kg = 410 g kg Supersaturation ratio S = 𝑐 𝑐∗ = 2450 g/kg 2040 g/kg ≈ 1.20 Relative supersaturation 𝜎 = ∆𝑐 𝑐∗ = 410 g/kg 2040 g/kg ≈ 0.20 Alternative calculation 𝜎 = 𝑆 − 1 = 1.20 − 1 = 0.20
  • 8. Different units of concentration • It is essential to take into consideration the units of concentration used. They affect the obtained values as shown in the table below. • Let’s use the same values asc in the previous example (sucrose in water at 20 °C, c* = 2040 g/kg and c = 2450 g/kg). Molar mass of sucrose M ≈ 342 g/mol. Solution densities ρc* = 1330 kg/m3 and ρc = 1360 kg/m3. Solution composition c c* Δc S σ g/kg water 2450 2040 410 1.20 0.20 g/kg solution 710 671 39 1.06 0.06 g/l solution 966 893 73 1.08 0.08 mol/l solution 2.82 2.61 0.21 1.08 0.08 mole fraction 0.114 0.097 0.017 1.18 0.18
