Figure 3. Experimental setup of MACC (left), the classic
temperature route for membrane induced nucleation and growth in
crystallizer (right).
Benefited from the high-speed microscopic camera, it can easily validate
the theory proposed in section 2.2 and Figure 1b. Under the experimental
condition, the crystals grew to certain size on the membrane surface.
Then the crystal beyond a critical size automatically slipped from the
membrane surface (shown in Figure 4). This phenomenon vividly
represented the induced nucleation and auto-seeding process during MACC.
