Montgomery, K E; Milanovich, F P

A crystal is grown in a constantly filtered solution which is flowed directly into the growing face of a crystal. In a continuous flow system, solution at its saturation temperature is removed from a crystal growth tank, heated above its saturation temperatue, filtered, cooled back to its saturation temperature, and returned to the tank. 2 figs.
