Crystallization Technology Handbook / Edition 1

by A. Mersmann

Overview

This handbook facilitates 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.

Table of Contents

"The most hilarious book of its kind since John Irving's The Water-Method Man and A Confederacy of Dunces by John Kennedy Toole."
—Des Moines Sunday Register

"An utter delight.  Ms.  Willis's unique, engaging voice will carry you off to a place where chaos theory makes perfect sense, time travel is a REASONABLE mode of transport, and safeguarding the fate of humanity is a respectable day job."
—Amanda Quick

"Willis effortlessly juggles comedy of manners, chaos theory and a wide range of literary allusions [with a] near flawlessness of plot, character and prose."
—Publishers Weekly

"I have long thought that Jerome K. Jerome's Three Men In A Boat is one of the highest points of Inimitable British Humor.  I chuckle; I gurgle; I know those three men—to say nothing of the dog.  And now I am convinced there was a woman concealed in that boat, too: Connie Willis."
—Laurie R. King

Editorial Reviews

...recommended as a technical manual for college and academic libraries with chemical engineering collections.

E-Streams

In a unified multi-author handbook rather than a collection of articles, contributors from industry and academia in Europe, Israel, the US, and Japan provide information not only on the science of crystallization from solution and from melt, but also on the basic design methods for laboratories and especially industrial crystallizers. They take into account relevant crystallization phenomena and such chemical engineering processes as fluid dynamics, multiphase flow, and heat and mass transfer. A main concern is scaling up laboratory experiments for obtaining kinetic data into industrial production facilities. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
