L I T E R A T U R E in the crystallization field continues to grow rapidly, keeping pace with the general explosive growth of scientific literature. T h e number of references cited in this review is approximately the same as in past years, but a more careful screening of the literature was required to maintain a review of reasonable size. This was accomplished by deleting or covering very selectively such subjects as : crystallization in polymers, crystallization in metals and melts, crystallization equilibria, epitaxial growth, crystallography, and whiskers. Crystallization in the sugar industry is treated lightly, as the authors feel that it is not of wide interest. T h e literature cited is approximately half U. S. and half foreign. However, examination of references not reported here shows that foreign literature predominates the field. This review covers the period 1959-1960. There continues to be a paucity of information which could be considered the “engineering science viewpoint.” Zone melting and single crystalgrowth continue to have widespread interest. Studies in the areas of growth from the vapor phase and effect of impurities and additives on crystal growth appear to be exceedingly fruitful subjects for investigation.

Reviews and Books

A volume on crystals and crystal growing appeared in 1960 (SA). A second edited volume on Russian research in crystal growth (8A) appeared in English translation. Growth of oxide single crystals containing transition metal ions (4A), monocrystals of seignettoelectrics (6,4), and nucleation, growth, and microstructure of thin films (7A) were the subjects of three recent revieiv articles. Reviews of the industrial uses of crystal habit modifiers (3‘4) and of the contemporary views on sugar crystallization ( 7 7A) were presented. T h e dependence of crystal form on the rate of crystallization (7UA) was the subject of a theoretical review. A recent review (9‘4) discussed the factors affecting the design of crystallizers. T h e subjects of supersaturation, im-

T h e kinetics of nucleation of nonNucleation coherent layers on a parent crystal lattice An experimental system comprised of a were considered (75’B). Aqueous KBr turbulent jet, in which a dilute vapor and NaCl solutions cooled slowly yielded issuing from a nozzle is rapidly quenched a small number of nuclei (7B). Vigorous by a cool annular gas, was used to produce agitation of these supersaturated solunuclei under steady state conditions (86’). tions caused intensive nucleation. NuUsing this system, experimental data cleation studies in a silicate melt (2B) were obtained for dibutyl phthalate and and in the precipitation of PbSOl at n-octadecane which were in agreement room temperature ( 7 7B) were reported. with the theory of Becker and Doering.

purities, agglomeration, and rate of growth were included. Zone refining and allied techniques were treated in a recent book by Parr (7.4). Thirty-five references were given in a revierv of the mechanisms of crystallization (2,4). Crystallization is shown to proceed by a chain mechanism. This process is comparrd with other types of chain processes.

nucleation kinetics was conducted (73B). T h e kinetics of the reaction were found to be first order. Another study by the same author (72B) indicates that the size of the impurity particles is of great importance. Linear relations were found to exist (7B) between the reciprocals of the saturation and supersaturation temperatures and between the logs of the concentration a t saturation and supersaturation in the systems NaC1-HIO, KCILH20, Na2SOI-H*0, and KzS04HzO. Supersaturation was determined by observing the first visible nuclei. The activation energy of nucleation in sintered .A1203 was reduced by the addition of Ti02 or hlnO (4B). Nucleation in aqueous solutions of K Y O , (76B) and KCI (74B) was studied. T h e properties of a critical nucleus in a two-

Spontaneous nucleation must be avoided for the equation to be valid. T h e growth rate of benzene in capillaries was determined for undercoolings ranging from 0.01” to 1.5’ C. (73C). General formulas were presented for diffusion-limited growth rates of precipitate particles (7UC). In another study (5C), the linear growth of different faces of citric acid crystals was observed microscopically while a supersaturated solution was circulated a t high velocity around the crystals. T h e concentration distribution around growing crystals was observed by a phase contrast method ( 8 C ) . T h e existence of an ordered boundary layer of 50 to 70 microns thickness was observed.

Zone Melting

A number of patents were issued relating to new techniques and equipment for zone melting. Zone melting and purification of conductive materials is achieved by means of Joule heat (76E). The passage of an electric current through the material raises the temperature to the melting point. The length of the melted zone is controlled by means of heat sinks at both ends. Passage of the zone is accomplished by adjusting the heat absorption of the sinks and a number of other techniques. An improved cross-flow continuous zone melting device is described in one of Pfann's recent patents (75E). The problem of contamination from the container has been avoided by means of a n electromagnetic field which suspends the molten zone of a conductive material (74E). A zone melting furnace used to grow single crystals without the use of a seed has been patented (9E). Gallium arsenide was grown by horizontal zone melting (17E). The incidence of dislocations was reduced by careful control of the growth conditions. A method for obtaining very high purity

.A detailed study of the repartition coefficients of certain impurities in zinc was made (ZE). Large departures from theory c\.ere observed because of slow diffusion in the liquid phase, as \vel1 as irregular crytallization velocity.

Single Crystals T h e literature pertaining to single crystals continues to expand. I n addition to those reports listed below, Table I11 cites further studies in this area. Pure single crystals of BaTiO; \vere grown from a mixture of BaC12, BaC03, and T i 0 2 (ZFj. Barium oxide single crystals \\'ere grown at 500" to 550' C. and atmospheric pressure by heating Ba(0H)z in dry hydrogen ( 7 2 7 ) . T h e higher melting metals, such as copper, Lvere grown as single crystals using a split graphite mold under high vacuum ( 7 F ) . Pure germanium and silicon crystals were prepared by the Czochralski method ( 5 F ) . Germanium-silicon alloys w.ith equal electrical resistance throughout the crystal were reported ( 4 F ) . Very slob\cooling was used to achieve this. A patent was granted for a method of growing single quartz crystals ( 7 7 F ) . More usable material for making crystal plates is obtained by proper control of the seed size, shape, and orientation. Equipment Equipment for the fractional crystallization of hydrocarbons was described in two recent patents (5G, 73G). I n the first, a porous piston forces the crystals through a heated zone containing a molten fraction. In the second, a refrigeration system crystallizes out impurities. -4nother patent (78G) describes the continuous fractional crystallization of 0- and p-dichlorobenzene. Partial melting and use of a cold refrigerant in direct contact with the feed serves as a basis for a countercurrent fractional crystallization scheme (72G). Patents \ v e x also granted for fractional crystallizers (70G, 77G). A wetted-wall column was used as an evaporative crystallizer (7G). A high velocity gas stream disintegrates the feed stream, spreading it around the inside of the column. Capacity of the equipment and possible applications are given. -4centrifugal crystallizer was described (8G) in which an immiscible liquid, with a density equal to that of the crystals

an and greater than that of the mother liquor, is used. The crystal suspension with the inert liquid is withdrawn a t the periphery. and the mother liquor is withdrawn at the center of the centrifuge. A detailed discussion of a draft tubebaffle (D‘l-B) crystallizer \vas given in a recent study (SG). Potassium chloride crystals groivn in a three-stage continuous vacuum crystallizer and a DTB crystallizer xvere comparrd ; improved size and uniformity were obtained in the latter. Large crystals were obtained by control of fines concentration (716)and were favored in a n annular-type crystallizer (75G). T h e purification of 2methyl-5-vinylpyridine was obtained a t higher throughput rates by means of a rapidlp pulsating pressure of 15 to 200 cycles p f r minute (76G). Equipment \vas described for groiving large monocrystals of S H , H , P O , ( J G ) : quartz (6s). heat-resistant materials in a vacuum (Z),and CdS (77G). Relarively large crystals of substances Iritli a low growth rate irere produced in the equipment described (7G). [$-axlike crystals arc produced and purified in a crystallizer described in a parent (3G).

Industrial Practice Fractional cr)-stallizatiun of Searls Lake brine and sea water \vas achieved by the addition of ethyl alcohol ( 7 7 H ) . About 90% of the strontium and 70% of the calcium are precipitated from sea water by the addition of 20% ethyl alcohol. This technique \vas suggested to recover by-producrs in the production of potable water from sea lvater. .4 parent was issued ( 3 H ) describing the fractional crystallization of alkylbenzenes. Needlelike crystals are avoided b\- control of turbulence during various stages of the process. Partial melting of crystals and countercurrent movement of a compact mass of crystals displace mother liquor and impurities ( 7 4 H ) . High product yield is obtained, as the high-melting component of the reflux stream freezes preferentially as it comes in contact with the cold crystal mass, From a mixture of m-. p-j and o-xylenes, p-xylene is obtained by partial melting of a slurry, filtration, compression, and !vashing ivith a n organic solvent (72H). Pilot plant production of hydrothermal synthetic quartz \vas described (70Hj. Grojrth rates of 60 mils per d a y \yere obtained under optimum conditions. .4dvantages and disavantages of bench scale pilot plant units \vere discussed (QH). Simulation of critical control conditions \vas found to be the major factor in design of pilot plant units. Purification and crystallization of ureais described in a recent patent (77H).

and the productionofHaPO4 by the hemihydrate process (73H) are described in recent reports. Methods of manufacture of S a C l from sea water and deposits in southern France were described (4H). JVater-insoluble organic crystals were purified by means of a suitable emulsifying agent lvhich creates a n emulsion of the mother liquor in the water phase (5H).Higher purities and greater yield of cyclohexane were obtained by this method as opposed to conventional methods. Controlled melting (76H) and stagewise separation ( 2 H ) improved the purity of crystallizable hydrocarbons. Coarse crystals of S a H C O , \rere obtaincd in a three-stage carbonation Pure 1-inch-thick titanium process (6”). crystals were produced from the system Sa-’Ti-C1 a t 850’ C. ( 7 H ) .

Impurities and Additives Tivo recent studies (77.3, 72.4 discussed a t length the effect of agitation on the purity of crystals. I n a CuS04FeSO4-H?SO4 system agitation increased the FeSO? content in C u S 0 4 stals by about 25% at compared with stals grown under quiescent conditions. T h e rate of stirring also affected the occlusion of iso- and isodimorphic impuriiies in crystals. Here stirring also increased occlusion. T h e adsorption of foreign ions was found to occur a t the surfaces of the mosaic building blocks of salt crystals (7.3).
