A Digital Twin for Process Optimisation in Pharmaceutical Manufacturing
09 Jun 2023 | Contributor(s):: Gerogiorgis, Dimitrios I., Castro-Rodriguez, Daniel
Organic synthesis is a critical step in producing any Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient (API): it encompasses a series of organic (mostly catalytic) reactions and separations, whose purpose is to arrive at a solution of a target molecule, which must then undergo crystallisation for purification,...
