higher temperature of solvent, smaller pieces of solute, stirring

Think how you get the sugar to dissolve in a cup of tea (or coffee)

High temperature, agitation, mixing and a constant supply of dilute solution plus maximum solute surface area (granules rather than blocks) would promote rapid dissolution. Ultrasonic vibrations should help.

1. Higher temperature ( makes the molecules move around faster)
2. Stirring or otherwise agitating the solvent.
