Volume
1 contains an introduction to crystallization
including a glossary of crystallization terms
and an index to the crystallization reports.
This volume also provides explanations of the
basic processes and principles of crystallization.
Volume
CR I Part 1
Introduction to industrial crystallization
Part 1 reviews industrial
crystallization, providing a comprehensive and comprehensible
introduction for the newcomer to this field. The report
covers:
Solid and solution properties
- a discussion of the thermodynamics of the crystallization
process, including solution and crystal properties.
Crystallization plant -
a description of various ways of specifying the product,
methods of generating supersaturation and a review of
common types of industrial crystallization equipment.
Characterisation of crystal
size distribution and crystallization kinetics. Various
ways of expressing crystal size and size distribution
are described, along with common forms of the growth
and nucleation rate equations. Scale up of the various
rate processes is also discussed.
Design and operation of
crystallizers - general guide-lines on how to design
crystallization equipment to produce a particular product
and how to design crystallization equipment to produce
a particular product, and how to operate new or existing
equipment.
Volume
CR I Part 2 Glossary of crystallization terms.
- Definitions
of commonly used crystallization terms.
- Recommended nomenclature
for crystallization quantities.
- Conversion factors between
different concentration and supersaturation units
Volume
CR I Part 3 Index.
This contains an index
to the crystallization reports. There are no plans to
update the index since all the Crystallization manual
parts are available on-line using the BROWSE software.
