Abstract
Crystallization and precipitation are widely used by the chemical industry as a means of preparing chemicals in solid form. Many materials, including pharmaceuticals, dyestuffs, agrochemicals and polymers are synthesized by reactions which occur in the liquid phase to yield either solutions or melts containing the required products. Crystallization from these reaction media allows the separation of products in convenient solid form. These solids may then be further processed to yield dispersions, tablets, pastes, powders etc. for sale to customers.
