Modelling Solvent-mediated Polymorphic Transitions during Cooling Solution Crystallization
نویسنده
چکیده
Polymorphism is one of the most important issues raised by the industrial crystallization of Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API). The dynamic modelling of polymorphic transformations is developed using Femlab, a multiphysics simulation software, which is applied to the resolution of the Populations Balance Equations (PBE) involved. The stable and metastable distinct populations of crystals are represented in a mono-dimensional framework (i.e. one particle size as internal variable.) The simulation reproduces experimental features associated with Ostwald’s Rule of Stages, it allows explaining and analysing the conditions of occurrence of both stable and metastable forms of the solid product.

Crystallization of Metastable Orthorhombic Paracetamol by Specially Designed Seeding Technique
Elusive metastable orthorhombic paracetamol single crystals were obtained by specially designed seeding technique from conventional slow evaporation method. Seeds were prepared at optimized conditions under different cooling rates from seed preparation unit and Powder x-ray diffraction (PXRD) was performed to ensure the polymorphic form of seeds. Saturated paracetamol solutions with three diffe...
متن کاملCombined synchrotron XRD/Raman measurements: in situ identification of polymorphic transitions during crystallization processes.
A combination of two analytical methods, time-resolved X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy, is presented as a novel tool for crystallization studies. An acoustic levitator was employed as sample environment. This setup enables the acquisition of XRD and Raman data in situ simultaneously within a 20 s period and hence permits investigation of polymorphic phase transitions during the c...

Chemists and engineers involved in the production of solid drugs have to deal with difficult new challenges, including the on-line mastery of the crystal habits and size distribution or the control of polymorphic transitions. A major limitation to improving the control of industrial crystallizers lies in the lack of versatile and reliable on-line sensors. Supersaturation measurements can be per...
متن کاملMolecular interactions between solvent and pharmaceutical compounds in crystallization of polymorphic systems
Polymorphism in pharmaceutical solids is a major issue that has medical, financial and legal implications. There are many thermodynamics and kinetics factors which affect the polymorph selectivity during the crystallization process such as nucleation temperature, supersaturation and type of solvent. Among these parameters, type of solvent is a major kinetic factor that has drawn the attention o...
متن کاملEffects of harvesting and cooling on crystallization and transformation of orthorhombic paracetamol in ethanolic solution.
Orthorhombic paracetamol (form II) can be obtained from ethanolic solution when seeding technique is applied although it converts to monoclinic (form I) upon contact with the solvent. In the present work different cooling temperature T(C) (-20, -10 and 0 degrees C) was applied under fixed agitation (700 rpm) and the crystalline product was harvested after different crystallization time t(H) (20...
