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 1, English, - agglomeration%20of%20crystals

L'agglomération ou prise en masse des cristaux [...] par les inconvénients qu'elle présente pour la conservation des corps cristallisés, tassés dans des magasins ou dans des sacs, est un problème industriel de première importance. 1, record 1, French, - prise%20en%20masse%20des%20cristaux

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 1, French, - prise%20en%20masse%20des%20cristaux

La cristallisation, au sens large du terme, est un changement d'état qui conduit, à partir d'une phase gazeuse ou liquide, à un solide appelé «cristal», de structure régulière et organisée. [...] Dans l'industrie, la cristallisation est une opération unitaire de génie chimique très importante. Elle conduit à des solides de natures très diverses, aussi bien minérales qu'organiques, à l'aide de procédés très variés. 3, record 1, French, - prise%20en%20masse%20des%20cristaux
