Location & approach

By Car

The campus of the Technical University of Dortmund is located near the freeway junction Dortmund West, where the Sauerland line A45 crosses the Ruhr expressway B1/A40. The Dortmund-Eichlinghofen exit on the A45 leads to the South Campus, the Dortmund-Dorstfeld exit on the A40 leads to the North Campus. The university is signposted at both exits.

By bus and train

The "Dortmund Universität" S-Bahn station is located directly on the North Campus. From there, the S-Bahn line S1 runs every 15 or 30 minutes to Dortmund main station and in the opposite direction to Düsseldorf main station via Bochum, Essen and Duisburg. In addition, the university can be reached by bus lines 445, 447 and 462. Timetable information can be found on the homepage of the Rhine-Ruhr Transport Association, and DSW21 also offer an interactive route network map.

The H-Bahn

One of the landmarks of the TU Dortmund is the H-Bahn. Line 1 runs every 10 minutes between Dortmund Eichlinghofen and the Technology Center via Campus South and Dortmund University S, while Line 2 commutes every 5 minutes between Campus North and Campus South. It covers this distance in two minutes.

By Airplane

From Dortmund Airport, the AirportExpress takes just over 20 minutes to Dortmund's main train station, and from there, the S-Bahn takes you to the university. A wider range of international flight connections is offered by Düsseldorf Airport, about 60 kilometers away, which can be reached directly by S-Bahn from the university's train station.

Lecture

Fundamentals of Crystallization

Type	Lecture (2 SWS) + Exercise (1 SWS)
Credits	4
Rhythm	Summer term
Bachelor / Master	Master
Audience	CIW, BIW, PSE
Language	English
LSF number	061088
Moodle Room

Cours Content

In the course "Fundamentals of Crystallization" the thermodynamic and kinetic fundamentals of crystallization, such as solubility, supersaturation, nucleation, crystal growth and agglomeration are discussed and possibilities for their experimental determination are explained. The fundamentals of
population balances and the calculation of particle size distributions are presented. Furthermore questions of product design, such as crystal morphology and polymorphism, are discussed. Finally the implementation in technical crystallization processes, such as continuous or batch crystallization, is discussed. Feedback methods will be presented and giving and taking feedback will be practiced.

Aquired Competences

On the basis of the course "Introduction to Crystallization" the students are able to determine suitable conditions for technical problems in crystallization processes, e.g. selection of the solvent and the crystallization process. Furthermore they can model the separation processes and, on the basis of the simulation results, assess which product properties (purity, crystal shape, crystal size distribution, etc.) are likely to be achieved under given conditions.
The students are able to transfer the acquired knowledge to solve complex tasks.
