An Introduction to Crystallization provides a clear introduction to the oldest separation process in the chemical industry. This study book by John Garside, published by Oxford University Press, is intended for professionals and students who want to gain insight into the process engineering of crystallization and the molecular kinetics of nucleation and crystal growth.
Crystallization is one of the oldest separation processes in the chemical industry and remains essential for both bulk production and fine chemicals. This book covers the design and operational aspects of crystallizers and discusses important topics such as habit modification and polymorphism. The emphasis is on ensuring reproducible particle size, shape, and distribution—essential for product and process optimization.
