Optimization in seeded cooling crystallization: A parameter estimation and dynamic optimization study
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Nowee, S. Mostafa, Abbas, Ali, Romagnoli, Jose A.
In this solution crystallization study, a population balance model that predicts the crystal size distribution (CSD) is used for targeting, by optimization, the product mean size and the coefficient of variation of the final CSD. The model is robust over a wide range of conditions and predicts...

Monitoring and digital design of the cooling crystallization of a high-aspect ratio anticancer drug using a two-dimensional population balance model
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Szilágyi, Botond, Eren, Ayşe Quon, Justin L. Papageorgiou, Charles D., Nagy, Zoltán K.
The development of a process model for the batch cooling crystallization of an anticancer drug from Takeda Pharmaceuticals is presented. The compound forms needle-like crystals that exhibit significant variation in shape (aspect ratio) during the crystallization. The parameters of a...

Model Based Estimation of 2D Crystallization Kinetics From Concentration and CLD Measurements
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Szilagyi, Botond, Borsos, Akos Simone, Elena Nagy, Zoltan K., Espuña, Antonio, Graells, Moisès, Puigjaner, Luis
Due to the fact that crystal size and shape influence relevant macroscopic properties of solid particles, the understanding and control of these quantities have increasing importance in particulate science. Crystallization, the primary crystal formation and purification process, is usually...
