The result of any crystallization process is a crystalline matter with a
certain crystal size distribution (CSD), certain crystal habit and purity.
These properties very often are quality requirements and well-defined by market
demands. Certainly, also the crystallization process itself requires a minimum
CSD, as the resulting suspension still has to be separated. This separation can
be effected the more perfectly (purity) as more compact (crystal habit) and
coarser (CSD) the crystals are. Quality and economy of the separation process
crystallization are therefore strongly dependent from crystal size, CSD and
crystal habit.
These properties also take influence to the storage ability, the
dust-freeness and also the bulk density of the product. The key for complying
all these demands is given already by simple theoretical considerations. Click here to read more.
