The first book to introduce molecular modeling and its applications in crystallization - written by leading experts in the field.Crystallization is an important purification process used in a broad range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, foods, and bulk chemicals. In recent years, molecular modeling has emerged as a useful tool in the analysis and solution of problems associated with crystallization. This book is the first to offer an introduction to molecular modeling and its application in crystallization. First it explains basic concepts and then describes modeling techniques used to solve practical problems related to crystal size, shape, internal structure, and properties.With chapters written by leading experts and an emphasis on problem-solving, this book will appeal to scientists, engineers, and graduate students involved in research and the production of crystalline materials.Crystallization is an important purification process used in a broad range of industries, including pharmaceuticals, foods, and bulk chemicals.
