Department of Chemistry, University College London. Computer modelling of crystal-crystal adhesion. The agglomeration of crystals in industrial crystallization processes is a major problem in the manufacture of many solid products. The EPSRC have funded a major collaborative project between UCL chemical engineering and chemistry to combine crystallization and micro-mechanic experiments with theoretical modelling, to develop a molecular based model of crystal agglomeration. One of the positions in this project is a PhD studentship to develop the modelling of inter-crystal forces at the atomistic level. 1, record 2, English, - agglomeration%20of%20crystals

En cristallisation industrielle, l'agglomération des cristaux constitue un phénomène très important, surtout dans les réactions de précipitation [...] On distingue deux types d'agglomération, classiquement désignés par primaire et secondaire. Agglomération primaire. Elle concerne les microparticules de taille en général inférieure à 1µm [...] Agglomération secondaire. Elle est provoquée soit par le mouvement brownien des particules (agrégation péricinétique), soit par les forces de cisaillement de la suspension dues aux conditions d'agitation (agrégation orthocinétique). 3, record 2, French, - prise%20en%20masse%20des%20cristaux
