In the ‘metastable’ zone: crystal nucleation investigated

Crystallization from solutions is used for the separation and purification of industrial chemicals and for controlling the shape and size of final crystalline products. The efficiency of these processes is determined by the nucleation of crystals and their development in the liquid phase, and is intimately connected with the metastable zone width of the liquid phase. In this CrystEngComm articles Keshra Sangwal investigates the metastable zone width of various systems using the polythermal method to further the understanding of these important processes.
