Project Description
Continuous Spherical Crystallization
- Proved experimentally that continuous spherical crystallization can be accomplished in a manner that decouples nucleation, growth, and agglomeration mechanisms
- Improved internal crystal properties during spherical crystallization as well as controlled agglomerate size properties robustly
Process Intensification
- Used spherical crystallization as process intensifying technique to produce direct compression API crystals to accomplish the same tasks as downstream unit operations
Model Identification and Validation
- Identified and validated nucleation, growth, and agglomeration mechanisms to develop accurate models so that the spherical crystallization process can be simulated and optimized
