Description

Learn from the experts about industrial crystallization in this third edition of a widely regarded classic that has been completely revised to reflect the latest developments in the field. New chapters on crystal nucleation, molecular modelling application, and precipitation and crystallization of pigments and dyes are included, as well as completely revised chapters on crystallization of proteins, crystallizer selection and design, control of crystallization processes, and process analytical technology. Richly illustrated with 150 new diagrams and photographs, and with dozens of practical hands-on examples, this is an ideal introduction for newcomers, and serves as an excellent reference for experienced professionals covering aspects of industrial crystallization in a single, complete volume.

Author Biography

Allan S. Myerson is Professor of the Practice of Chemical Engineering in the Department of Chemical Engineering at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Professor Myerson's research focuses on separations processes in the chemical and pharmaceutical industry with an emphasis on crystallization from solution, nucleation, polymorphism and pharmaceutical manufacturing. Professor Myerson has received a number of award including the American Chemical Society Award in Separations Science and Technology (2008), the AIChE Separations Division Clarence G. Gerhold Award (2015) and the AICHE Process Development Division Excellence in Process Development Research Award (2015). Deniz Erdemir is a Principal Scientist at Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS). Dr Erdemir's research focus lies at the drug substance/drug product interface with emphasis on crystal polymorphism and design of materials via particle engineering to enable robust drug products. She has published twelve papers and she is the inventor on two US patents. Alfred Y. Lee is an Associate Principal Scientist in the Department of Process Research and Development at Merck & Co., Inc. Prior to his current position, Dr Lee was a Principal Scientist at GlaxoSmithKline PLC. Dr. Lee's scientific interests are in the area of crystal engineering, crystallization process development, materials characterization, polymorphism, and the physical chemistry of solids.

Reviews

'In its experimental and theoretical aspects, the present handbook is well organized. One of the major strengths of the book is the fact that, despite its wide range of topics, the editors succeeded in combining the different contributions in a very coherent framework. The book represents a good overview of knowledge of the widespread field of industrial crystallization. I recommend the book to scientists and engineers working in this field.' Klaus-Werner Benz, Journal of Applied Crystallography
