Abstract

A phenomenological model for the description of antisolvent mediated crystal growth processes is here presented. The crystal size growth dynamics is supposed to be driven by a deterministic growth factor coupled to a stochastic component. The evolution in time of the particle size distribution is then described in terms of a Fokker-Planck equation. A comparison with experimental data is presented.
