Synopsis

This outstanding resource provides reliable, immediately applicable information on the science of crystallization from solution and melt. It examines all relevant crystallization phenomena and chemical engineering processes - focusing on the selection, design, and operation of large-scale industrial crystallizers, illustrating scaleup, and offering an appendix that lists the physical properties of over 170 organic and inorganic crystallization systems and presents examples of large-scale industrial crystallizers.
Combining theory and practice into a well-integrated, coherent volume, Crystallization Technology Handbook explains the basic design procedures for both laboratory and industrial crystallizers ... delineates optimal supersaturation ... describes in detail cooling, evaporative, drowning-out, and reaction crystallization ... discusses precipitation, mixing, and product quality ... highlights the economics of the entire crystallization process ... stresses production values such as size distribution, coefficient of variation, and crystal shape and purity ... considers the problem of encrustation ... addresses new process developments, including high-pressure crystallization and freezing ... and much more.
With over 1400 bibliographic citations, tables, figures, and equations, Crystallization Technology Handbook is an incomparable reference for chemical, design, and bioprocess engineers; organic, inorganic, and medicinal chemists and biochemists; protein scientists; and upper-level undergraduate, graduate, and continuing-education students in these disciplines.
