From Molecules to Crystallizers

Crystallization is one of the oldest separation processes used in the chemical industry and is still one of the most important. The primer emphasizes the link between a process engineering description of crystallizer design and operation and provides a molecular level understanding of the kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth.
