AISHEV (49) has derived Wulfl’s law for the equilibrium form of crystals in a homogeneous phase by a thermodynamic method. Expressions were also derived for the n ork necessary for the isothermal building of crystals in terms of crystal &e and saturation. Salli (89) derived an equation for the rate of growth of crystals as a function of the diffusion coefficient, degree of supersaturation, crystal radius, thickness of the depleted zone, surface tension, molecular weight,, and molecular volume. Lemmelein (54) has discussed the expcrimcntal production of crystals with equilihrium forms and the crystal-vapor equilibrium of hexamethylenetetramine. Iinacke and Stranski (61) have reviewed the theory of crystal yronth. Birman ( 7 ) has discussed the calculation of the average potential of an infinite nonionic crystal. He has shorn that the Frenkel-Bethe formula can be obtained from the Fourier representation of the total crystal potential. Roberts and Mandelkern (85) have reported on the thcrmodynamics of crystallization in high polymers. Sirota (97) has discussed the general problem of the development of an isothermal invariant transformation in time as applicable to crystallization. He has pointed out that for this problem the magnitude of the appearing nuclei, diinensions of growth, and the peculiarities of the transformation process are important. .4 growth rate equation is given and the effect of additives and the growth rate are discusscd. Litunovskii and Todes (66) have derived equations for the rate of crystal growth in the region of pure molecular diffusion in supersaturated solutions. The measured rate of crystal groxth in supersaturated potassium dichromate solution was in good agreement with the theoretically calculated values. Litunovskil (65) has developed a semiempirical equation expressing the linear diinension of a crystal as a function of supersaturation. He studied the rate of change of the linear dimensions of potassium dichromate crystals during crystallization and solution for values of initial supersaturation, dimensions of seed crystals, and rates of agitation. Pohl (80) has solved the time-dependent diffusion equation by transformation calculus to obtain the solute concentration in a solvent after a segrcgating liquid-solid interface is passed through the materlal. Graphical and tabulated results for typical esperxmental conditions are presciited. Gondshira (36) has presented a statistical explanation of isothermal recrystallization. A theoretical and mathematical analysis of the kinetics of the crystallization process made by Todes (10s)shows a strong dependence on the initial relative supersaturation. Burton, Prim, and Slichter (11) have examined the incorporation of solute elements into single crystals of germanium gromu from the melt in terms of a simple model. The theory accounts for the contribution of solute transport in the melt oxving to diffusion and Auid motlon, to the over-all process of impurity incorporation during steady state crystallization.

They reported on the crystallization of sucrose, arabinose, fructose, sorbitol, gulose, melibiose, glycerol, m-cresol, diglpcerjrlaldehyde, brucine, salol, and others. Ogawa (74) has reported a reduction in the precipitation time of aluminum hydroxide from 3 days to 5 hours by exposure of the sodium aluminate solution to 620-kilocycle ultrasonic wavee. Polotskir, Benieva, and Khodev (81) have studied the effect of supersonic waves on the crystallization of o-chloronitrohenzene, and on the pure mptals, cadmium, zinc, and tin. Kobayashi (52) has studied the nucleus formation and growth of si!ver chloride. Johnson and O’Rourke (47) have reported on the kinetics of barium sulfate precipitate formation. Turnbull (IO$) studied the rate of precipitation of barium sulfate from aqueous solution by the conductometric technique. Christiansen (18, 19) has niade a study of the steady-state nucleation and growth of crystalline precipitates. Supplementing this study with a treatment that takes the time of attainment of the steady state of nucleation into account, he shows that the steady state is attained almost instantaneously. Pound (53) has reported on the heterogeneous nucleation of crystals from a vapor. IIirano and Tsunoda (43) made a study of the timc required for the nucleus formation of urea adducts of paraffins under a microscopc in the presence of methanol, ethanol, propanol, butanol, and water as activators. Xielsen (72) studied the mechanism of the origin of recrystallization nuclei . Chretien, IIeubel, and Trimole (17) studied the temperature variations accompanying crystallization of sodium chloride and potassium chloride solutions by photographically recording the temperature-time curve. The velocity of crystallization varies with diffusion, the area of the crystals, the number of seeds, their granulation, and the square of the supersaturation. Neurnann and hIicus (70) have studied the linear speed of crystallization of salol in thin layers. JZorris and Strickland-Constable (67) studied the growth of the (110) faces of benzophenone crystals from a melt and reported

that the rates of growth of the individual faces normally reniaiiied constant a t constant supercooling and constant stirring rates, even when the face area was increased considerably. Matusevich (67) has reported on the effect of the rate of cooling on the size of the rcsultant crystals. FigurovskiI and Komarova (50) studied the rates of crystallization of potassium aluminum sulfate and cuprous sulfate from their supersaturated solutions. They point out that the correlation of the growth rate with time indicates that crl stallization is a second-order process for these two materials. Fiillman (34) has explained the phenomena of crystal growth, dislocations, and spiral growth. Excellent photographs of the spiral gron%h patterns of paraffin and silicon carbide are given dmelinckx (1) has presented photograms to support his previous contention that cross-laced growth patterns of crystals of normal long-chain alcohols are real. Mergault and Branche (6'4) have reported on the crystallization of anhydrous titania dissolved in cryolite in the form of rutile. The smaller crystals obtained were colorless, while the larger sizes were bluish in color. Baur (6) has crystallized triacetin from liquid triacetin and from a 50% solution in 00% ethyl alcohol.

VARIABLES AFFECTING CRYSTALLIZATION

Sadovyi (87, 88) has related the rate of crystallization of glucose to basic physical factors. A t moderate supersaturation and proper seeding, crystallization of glucose monohydrate proceeded below 35" C. This is important because the rapid drop in solubility with temperature permits a greater yield. The erg-stallization rate was found to be directly proportional to superssturation, independent of temperature, but a poiver function of the ratio of viscosities of pure and impure saturated solutions. Seifert (92) has comprehensively discussed the basic principles of crystal structure, changes in shape and their causes, changes due to surrounding factors, uniformity of grain size of industrial products, problems in nucleation, ammonium sulfate crystallization, effect of purity upon erystallization, storage and the caking problem, and crystal formation in the vapor phase. Hirano (42) has observed that the crystal growth is accrlerxted in the supersaturated solutions of several inorganic salts under the action of super-high-frequency waves of wave lengths of 20 to 30 em The TiTave length of 20 is effective for potassium chloride, potassium nitrate, potassium dichromate, and amnionIum oxalate and the wave length of 30 for lead nitrate, copper sulfate, and potassium aluminum sulfate. Chatterjee (15) has studied the crystallization of saturated potassiuni chloride and barium chloride solutions during cooling from 80" to 45' C. at the rate of 10' per hour a t different stirring rates. Matuserich (58) has studied the effects of the rates of cooling and stirring on unsceded crystallization of saturated solutions of potassium nitrate and potassium ferrocyanide and has determinrd the temperature of initial crystallization as a

function of stirring. Llatusevich and Shabalin (60)have studied the effect of stirring upon crystal growth of potassium nitrate and potassium frrrocyanide and have discussed in detail the results on the basis of the theoiy of eusting ultramicroscopic crystal formations 1x1 saturated solutions. Matusevich and Shabalin (59) have also reported on the effect of the intensity of stirring solutions on the size of the resultant crystals. Chatterji and Rastogi (16) investigated the effect of foreign substances on the limits of supcr saturation of potassium chloride The foreign substanccs studied included octyl alcohol, caprylic acid, linoleic acid, methylene blue, Congo red, malachite green, Bismark broivn, e o m , crystd violet, sodium chloride, potassium nitrate, potassiiim chlorate, magnesium chloride, glass wool, and glass powder.
