Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The field of industrial crystallization is extremely diverse, uniting the activities of scientists and engineers in various disciplines such as chemistry, biotechnology, pharmacy, and thermal, chemical and process engineering. Their research compiles crystallization fundamentals, crystallization process monitoring, design and optimization, crystalline (and amorphous) product design, and related applications in the industrial production of solid products. The latter include, inter alia, drugs, food components, salts, metals, alloys and highly functionalized materials as composite and nanomaterials as well. In addition, the prevention of crystallization relates to the field as there are crystallization scaling and corrosion in industrial systems. The increasing importance of sustainability and environmentally friendly processes in chemical and other process industries had led to the need for supporting crystallization specialists, for example, to recover valuable raw materials or to remove waste components from wastewaters.
The editorial board of the ‘Industrial Crystallization’ section of Crystals comprises a group of international distinguished scientists and engineers collaborating with other outstanding researchers worldwide. In this Special Issue, we collect articles from the members of our section board and other well-respected colleagues that cover a variety of current subjects in industrial crystallization research.

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.
