Mixing and Crystallization

This book covers the latest developments in the fields of mixing and crystallization. It shows how mixing processes affect the crystallization process in general, and provides solutions to some specific cases in particular. Different mixing strategies and devices have been discussed with a particular reference to the crystallization process. The book also covers the state-of-the-art measurement techniques available for mixing intensity, nucleation, crystal growth and size distribution. The articles have been contributed by the most respected researchers in this area, and cover the frontier areas of research and development in the mixing and crystallization processes. This is unique compared to other books in this field which do not emphasize the interrelationship of the two processes. This book is a selection of papers presented at the International Conference on `Mixing and Crystallization' held at Tioman Island, Malaysia, in 1998. Audience: Professional engineers, researchers and graduate students involved in chemical, food, pharmaceutical and biochemical engineering.
