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 crystalline materials. This book is the first to offer an introduction to molecular modeling and its application in crystallization.
