Description
Summary:The study of the mechanisms lying underneath reactive crystallization is a key subject in a myriad of natural and industrial processes. Here, control on particle nucleation and growth are active topics of research, in which important advances can be highlighted within the last years. Although novel mechanisms for crystal nucleation have been recently unveiled, the effects of reagent mixing process and timescales on them, together with the effect of impurities and/or additives present during the reaction, still lack of fundamental comprehension. This work intends to provide a general view on the latest advances made on the critical parameters involved in reactive crystallization processes: nucleation, fast and efficient mixing and use of additives.
