Summary:

"The goal of this primer is to introduce crystallization to newcomers in the field, with three primary readers in mind: (1) new graduate students starting a crystallization project; (2) scientists in industry who may be familiar with general chemistry and/or crystallography and want to get an introduction to the topics behind crystallizer design; and (3) students taking a crystallization elective course or a crystallization module in a broader separations course. Contrary to a textbook or review article, this is a digital primer where the authors prioritize simplicity over completeness and breadth over depth. Each chapter in the primer contains selected references, such as Read These Next, for those who wish to dive deeper into a specific topic. Crystallization can be found in multiple areas within materials design and separations. The product of a crystallization step may be a single crystal or a powder. It may be composed of small organic molecules, inorganic salts, biological molecules, or single elements. Similarly, it may have been crystallized from its molten state or pre-dissolved in an appropriate solvent and then crystallized (via, e.g., cooling, antisolvent addition, a chemical reaction, or solvent evaporation). Each of these combinations may be their field of research, requiring very different approaches and considerations that warrant their primers. This primer focuses on solvent-mediated crystallization as a separation process, often called solution crystallization, with solid−liquid suspensions being the main product."-- Provided by publisher.
