Crystallization is an important technique for separation and purification as well as for product design and finds wide application in the chemical, pharmaceutical and processing industry. With changing requirements in industry sectors such as pharmaceuticals, specialty chemicals, biochemicals and the food industry many new challenges arise that can only be addressed using a multidisciplinary approach. For this reason crystallization research demands, and receives, input from chemical engineering, solid-state chemistry and physics as well as from pharmaceutical, food and agricultural science, both at the applied and the theoretical level.
