Additives and Crystallization Processes: From Fundamentals to Applications.


DUBLIN, Ireland -- Research and Markets (http://www.researchandmarkets.com/reports/c72190) has announced the addition of "Additives and Crystallization Crystallization

The formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapor, or a different solid phase. Crystallization from solution is an important industrial operation because of the large number of materials marketed as crystalline particles.
 Processes: From Fundamentals to Applications" to their offering.

Crystal growth technology involves processes for the production of crystals essential for microelectronics microelectronics, branch of electronic technology devoted to the design and development of extremely small electronic devices that consume very little electric power. , communication technologies, lasers and energy producing and energy saving technology. A deliberately added impurity im·pu·ri·ty  
n. pl. im·pu·ri·ties
1. The quality or condition of being impure, especially:
a. Contamination or pollution.

b. Lack of consistency or homogeneity; adulteration.

c.
 is called an additive additive

In foods, any of various chemical substances added to produce desirable effects. Additives include such substances as artificial or natural colourings and flavourings; stabilizers, emulsifiers, and thickeners; preservatives and humectants (moisture-retainers); and
 and in different industries these affect the process of crystal growth. Thus, understanding of interactions between additives and the crystallizing phases is important in different processes found in the lab, nature and in various industries.

This book presents a generalized gen·er·al·ized

1. The beginning of chemical or physical changes at discrete points in a system, such as the formation of crystals in a liquid.

2. The formation of cell nuclei.
, growth and aggregation of crystals during crystallization and has received endorsement from the President of the International Organization for Crystal Growth. It is the first text devoted to the role of additives in different crystallization processes encountered in the lab, nature and in industries as diverse as pharmaceuticals, food and biofuels.

A unique highlight of the book are chapters on the effect of additives on crystal growth processes, since the phenomena discussed is an issue of debate between researchers
Topics Covered:

Complexes in Solutions
Three-Dimensional Nucleation and Metastable Zone Width
Kinetics and Mechanism of Crystal Growth: An Overview
Effect of Impurities on Crystal Growth Kinetics
Dead Supersaturation Zone and Threshold Supersaturations for Growth
Mineralization in Natural and Artificial Systems
Morphology and Size Distribution of Crystals
Additives and Crystallization Processes in Industries
Incorporation of Impurities in Crystals
