Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Crystallization, as a traditional separation approach, is widely applied in crystal products refining and purification, especially in the food and pharmaceutical industry. On the one hand, crystallization can achieve high purity product preparation, which can also realise low energy- and cost-consumption compared with distillation and evaporation. On the other hand, crystallization provides a potential landscape in crystal product refinings, such as polymorph preparation, crystal shape control, and co-crystallization formation. Crystallization has been widely applied in properties of crystal product enhancement, e.g., changing the dissolution rate and stability.
We invite researchers to contribute to the Special Issue on crystallization process design and control, which is intended to serve as a unique multidisciplinary forum covering broad aspects of science, technology, and the application of crystallization.
Potential topics include but are not limited to:
- Novel crystal polymorph exploration
- Crystal-shape control
- Co-crystallization formation
- Crystallization process optimisation and parameter evaluations
- Designs and applications of novel crystallisers
- Applications of separation and purification technology via crystallization in various systems
- Exploitation of the remarkable properties of crystallization in various existent and emerging applications

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Crystals is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
Please visit the Instructions for Authors page before submitting a manuscript. The Article Processing Charge (APC) for publication in this open access journal is 2100 CHF (Swiss Francs). Submitted papers should be well formatted and use good English. Authors may use MDPI's English editing service prior to publication or during author revisions.
