This book invites you on a systematic tour through the fascinating
world of crystals and their symmetries. The reader will gain an
understanding of the symmetry of external crystal forms
(morphology) and become acquainted with all the symmetry elements
needed to classify and describe crystal structures. The book
explains the context in a very vivid, non-mathematical way and
captivates with clear, high-quality illustrations. Online materials
accompany the book; including 3D models the reader can explore on
screen to aid in the spatial understanding of the structure of
crystals. After reading the book, you will not only know what a
space group is and how to read the International Tables for
Crystallography, but will also be able to interpret
crystallographic specifications in specialist publications. If
questions remain, you also have the opportunity to ask the author
on the book's website.
Continuous crystallization is an area of intense research, with
particular respect to the pharmaceutical industry and fine
chemicals. Improvements in continuous crystallization technologies
offer chemical industries significant financial gains, through
reduced expenditure and operational costs, and consistent product
quality. Written by well-known leaders in the field, The Handbook
of Continuous Crystallization presents fundamental and applied
knowledge, with attention paid to application and scaling up, and
the burgeoning area of process intensification. Beginning with
concepts around crystallization techniques and control strategies,
the reader will learn about experimental methods and computational
tools. Case studies spanning fine and bulk chemicals, the
pharmaceutical industry, and employing new mathematical tools, put
theory into context.
