✦ Synopsis
Dedicated to Professor Dr. Klaus Wintermantel on the occasion of his 60th birthday In this article the optimal supersaturation for cooling and evaporation crystallization are presented. This information is based on a simplified model which describes the metastable zone width of activated nucleation. The model assumes that the nucleation step is very fast and the occurrence of the shower of nuclei which is used to define the metastable zone width is caused by the growth of activated nuclei. In future new sensors for the measurement of supersaturation will help to operate batch crystallizers at the optimal supersaturation during the entire batch time.

The article describes the effect of degree of supersaturation, σ, on the crystallization of specific polymorphs of phenylbutazone from its methanolic solution at 20°C. At low initial supersaturation, σ ≤ 2.0, the fraction of the metastable α polymorph in the crystallized product exceeds that of the
## Abstract The precipitations of barium sulphate and chromate were studied by slow addition of anion to metal cation solution at 20°C, to give final equivalent metal salt solutions; the final solute concentrations (__C__~fin~) were varied from 0.002 to 0.30 mol l^−1^ while the rates (__R__) of add
