Secondary Nucleation — A Review

  • Chapter
Industrial Crystallization

Abstract

Crystallizing systems, that is supersaturated systems in which crystals are already present, can form new nuclei at conditions under which primary (spontaneous) nucleation would not occur. This phenomenon leads to the definitions which will be followed in this paper:

  1. a)

    Secondary is the nucleation which occurs, irrespectively of its mechanism, only because of the presence of crystals of the material being crystallized. When no crystals are present no nucleation occurs.

  2. b)

    The terms primary or spontaneous nucleation will be used to characterize any nucleation that is not secondary in nature. This includes both the classical homogeneous and the heterogeneous nucleation.
