Description
Design of Crystallizers provides a survey of design methods for specific types of crystallizers. The book begins by presenting a simplified description of the kinetics of crystallization, which includes the basic rules for modellng and design of crystallizers. The remainder of the book is dedicated to providing design methods illustrated by practical examples. These design methods have been verified in the laboratory, pilot plant, and in some cases, production scale. Crystallizers discussed include agitated crystallizers, chamber crystallizers, classifying crystallizers, and others. Design of Crystallizers will be a tremendous asset to all engineers and scientists working in the field of industrial crystallization.
