Crystallization Technology Handbook

This handbook seeks to facilitate the selection, design and operation of large-scale industrial crystallizers that process crystals with the proper size distribution, shape and purity sought - including cooling, evaporation, drowning-out reaction, melt, and related crystallization techniques. This new edition offers new results on direct-contact cooling crystallization. It lists the properties of over 170 organic and inorganic crystallization systems. An up-to-date review of the engineering science of crystallization, featuring well-organized and clear guidelines for the building, running and optimization of crystallizer operations. Offers new results on direct-contact cooling crystallization, measures of solubility and supersaturation, surface nucleation on crystals, and other advanced topics.
