Description
This Chemical Engineering Guidebook features a collection of tutorial-style engineering articles to guide process engineers on the proper selection, design, operation, and maintenance of systems used in crystallization and related unit operations. Crystallization is widely used in chemical process industries (CPI) facilities to produce products in crystalline form and to separate and purify phases. It is a challenging unit operation, with potential issues arising during scaleup and operation.
This PDF guidebook also covers drying, milling, granulation, particle-size reduction, bulk-solids transport, vacuum processing, vacuum drying, nitrogen inerting, and other strategies to ensure safe and efficient crystallization. Articles were originally published in Chemical Engineering magazine between 2010 and 2018.
