Get a Solubility Curve

摘要

THE FIRST physical property information I ask for when I take on a crystallization problem is the solubility curve. My request usually results in a deer-in-the-headlights look or — worse — the presentation of one from 1910 that the plant never has checked. A related issue is the meta-stable zone width and the potential for polymorphism or solvation, especially with solutes that cross at a given temperature. My 2005 article "Don't let Phase Changes Faze You," http://goo.gl/ UmUYdk, highlights the value of a solubility curve.
