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.

"International praise for the first edition. . . Professor Mersmann's expertise and experience has contributed immensely to the value of this book Professor Mersmann is one of the most distinguished experts in crystallization science and technology. His laboratory. . .is one of the premier laboratories, which has engaged in crystallization R&D" ---both at laboratory and large pilot scale---continuously for over two decades. "Professor Mersmann's expertise and experience in industrial crystallization has contributed immensely to the value of this book. . .. This book is a highly recommended addition to chemical engineering libraries and for personal libraries of those actively involved in crystallization." ---Drying Technology excellent "This excellent book is an up-to-date review of the engineering science of crystallization from solution and melt. It also addresses reactive crystallization. The book provides a comprehensive engineering basis for understanding and performing scale-up. . . .a recommended book if you need clear, well-organized, well-explained guidelines to build, run, optimize and understand crystallizer operation." ---Chemical Engineering Science recommended ." . .Mersmann's Handbook allows the reader to understand more clearly the relationships between industrial practice and the various physicochemical processes that occur during crystallisation; this is no mean feat. . .. . . .recommended as a library text on the engineering and chemical aspects of crystallisation which could be usefully consulted by those encountering problems with crystals, and especially by those working in the field." ---Food Australia original and complete ." . .certainly one of the mostoriginal and complete reviews in the field of crystallisation." ---Applied Catalysis describe[s] not only the science of crystallization, but also the design procedures of crystallizers "The stated aim of this book is to describe not only the science of crystallization, but also the design procedures of crystallizers. . .the book fulfills that aim. . . .this book is suitable for people who have some scientific knowledge of the principles of crystallization which they wish to develop into a practical industrial application." ---Journal of Pharmacy and Pharmacology
