Overview
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.

Reflecting the current interest in the field, over a third of the 23 papers deal with the crystallization of polymorphic compounds that can crystallize in more than one form, and the crystallization of chiral compounds. Perhaps portending a trend, ten consider the crystallization of proteins, amino acids, and pharmaceuticals. Others cover basic studies, industrial crystallizers and processes, and optic isomers and polymorphs. Among the specific organic and inorganic compounds discussed are paraffin, fatty acid, sodium chloride, and magnesium hydroxide. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.Book Details
