Synopsis

Winner of IChemE 2002 Brennan Medal for Best Book. This second edition extends the scope of the first edition, published in 1990, which was concerned solely with the measurement of crystal growth rates. Again produced under the auspices of the Working Party on Crystallization (WPC) of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE), this edition includes the measurement of nucleation rates. The book recommends: proven methods, equipment and procedures for growth rate measurements, complete information on parameters relevant to the measured data under discussion, symbols and units for presentation and publication. As many chapters were worked on by researchers who have recently applied the methods in laboratories, the book also includes detailed descriptions of equipment and apparatus.

IChemE, the Institution of Chemical Engineers, is the center for chemical, biochemical and process engineering professionals worldwide.

We are the heart of the process community, promoting competence and a commitment to sustainable development, advancing the discipline for the benefit of society and supporting the professional development of members.

Some of the areas we publish in include:

-Safety in the process industries - the BP Process Safety series

-Consultancy for chemical engineers

-Project management in the process industries

-Contract management in the process industries - International Forms Of Contract series

-Communication skills for engineers

About this title

Synopsis

Extending the scope of the first edition, which was concerned solely with the measurement of crystal growth rates, this second edition is also produced under the auspices of the Working Party on Crystallization (WPC) of the European Federation of Chemical Engineering (EFCE). Including the measurement of nucleation rates, this edition recommends proven methods, equipment and procedures for growth rate measurements, complete information on parameters relevant to the measured data under discussion, and symbols and units for presentation and publication. It seeks to unify methods and equipment, contributing to the standardization of these kinetic measurements. By using worked examples, the text also makes clear the appropriate treatment of data and the need for close specification conditions. As many of the chapters were worked on by researchers who have recently applied the methods in laboratories, the book also includes detailed descriptions of equipment and apparatus.
