Continuous purification of active pharmaceutical ingredients using multistage organic solvent nanofiltration membrane cascade
Contributor(s):: Peeva, L, Burgal, JDValtcheva, I, Livingston, AG
Downstream processing accounts for a large fraction of the production costs in pharmaceutical manufacturing. Organic solvent nanofiltration performed in a membrane cascade offers an interesting possibility for a continuous downstream processing unit operation. This work demonstrates continuous...

Continuous Crystallization with Impurity Complexation and Nanofiltration Recycle
Contributor(s):: Vartak, S, Myerson, AS
For crystal-impurity systems with similar structures and molecular weights, the impurity has a strong tendency to incorporate into the crystal lattice, making it difficult to obtain high purity with a single crystallization or even multiple crystallizations. In such cases, complexation of the...

Construction of ultrathin PTMSP/Porous nanoadditives membranes for highly efficient organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN)
Contributor(s):: Liu, Q, Smith, SJDKonstas, K, Ng, D, Zhang, KS, Hill, MR, Xie, ZL
Organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN), also known as solvent resistant nanofiltration (SRNF), has enormous potential for industrial applications. Among the emerging high-performance membrane materials, some have proven challenging to fabricate ultrathin selective layers and at a scale large enough...
