✦ Synopsis

Covering a range of topics, this volume presents crystallization of polymorphs and the problems encountered in the separation of chiral compounds by selective crystallization, as well as aspects of the crystallization of amino acids, proteins, and pharmaceuticals. The introductory section includes state-of-the-art research on secondary nucleation, the mechanism for crystallization of proteins, kinetics of impurity effect on growth, and crystal morphology prediction. Other topics include the use of high-pressure crystallization in industrial processes, precipitation cases for organic and inorganic compounds, precipitation processes by antisolvents, fast reaction precipitation, and isoelectric precipitation.
