Abstract
Particulate products, that is, products that contain solid particles, are in common use in industry. The particulates may be, for instance, silicon carbide crystals in abrasives (applied to polish surfaces), magnetic particles used in magnetic tapes, silver halide used in photographic film, or liquid crystal used for display. It is often necessary to grow crystals, used in such particulate products, to a desired size or size distribution. This precipitation process is often achieved by the process of Ostwald ripening, described in [1; Chap. 4].
