TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the interaction between balances, processes, and product quality design of Crystallizers and Crystallization Processes Control of the Crystallizer Reaction Crystallisation Additives and Impurities Crystallizing from the Melt Thermal Analysis and Economics of Processes Appendix 1: Physical Properties Appendix II: Examples of Large-Scale lndustrial Crystallisers

TL;DR: In this article, a simple equation for the calculation of interfacial tensions is derived based on known fundamental relationships of thermodynamics and their integration across the interfacial layer, and a comparison of these equations with known measured data shows a fairly good agreement for most systems.

TL;DR: In this paper, the design and operation of cooling and evaporation crystallizers and precipitators for reaction crystallization is discussed. But the main objective in crystallization and precipitation is to choose and to maintain the optimal supersaturation with respect to product quality at all times and all locations in the crystallizer or precipitator.

TL;DR: In this article, a theoretical model based on the birth of nuclei on the surface of crystals present in the solution and their outgrowth has been developed, where the surface-born nuclei have to grow to a certain size to be detected by means of a particle analysing system or human eye.

TL;DR: In this article, a comprehensive model for one of these processes, crystallization from suspensions, is presented, where the size dependent growth behavior of fragments is explained by the attrition process itself.
