This handbook facilitates 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.
Physical and chemical properties of crystalline systems; activated nucleation; crystal growth; particle size distribution and population balance; attrition and attrition controlled secondary nucleation; agglomeration; quality of crystalline products; design of crystallizers; operation of crystallizers; challenges in, and an overview of, the control of crystallizers; reaction crystallization; tailor-made additives and impurities; suspension crystallization from the melt; layer crystallization and melt solidification; thermal analysis and economics of processes.
