Butterworth-Heinemann Crystallization Process Systems

Crystallization Process Systems gives a clear, concise, balanced and up to date presentation of crystallization and solid-liquid separation of crystalline products. It emphasizes the analysis, design, operation and optimization of particulate crystallization processes as systems, in order to assist process engineers and chemists decide on the best, cheapest and most effective production method to use for their application. In addition to providing background on classical crystallization, this book includes modern techniques such as CFD of crystallization systems. It thoroughly covers the impact of mixing on crystallization, and balances theory with the practical aspects of crystallizer design and practical scale-up. Presents a practically oriented approach to developing and implementing the latest crystallization techniques at commercial level. Applications and case studies are supported by a systems approach to showing the reader the relevant fundamentals of particulate crystallization processes for their applications. Emphasis on the design and optimization of the crystallization processing system Offers a more comprehensive approach to the topic than other titles. This will be the first resource to consult when consider design or optimization challenges. Review Definitive reference on crystallization in process systems design, with a practical application and optimization emphasis on industrial scale processes to meet the needs of practicing process engineers
