Particle Size and Shape Control in Crystallization Processes
نویسندگان
چکیده
Crystallization from solution is an industrially important unit operation due to its ability to provide high purity separations. The control of the crystal size distribution can be critically important for efficient downstream operations such as filtration and drying, and product effectiveness (e.g., bioavailability, tablet stability). This paper provides an overview on recent developments in the control of industrial crystallization processes. This includes descriptions of recent activities in the modeling, parameter estimation, state estimation, analysis, simulation, optimization, control, and design of crystallization processes.

متن کاملSize and shape estimation of 3-D convex objects from their 2-D projections: application to crystallization processes.
The aim of this paper is to present a new projective stereological method that enables to estimate the size and the shape of a three-dimensional convex object from measurements only made on its two-dimensional projections. To do so, some geometrical and morphometrical measurements on the projected shadows of the three-dimensional convex object are done and the value of the three-dimensional con...
متن کاملEffect of Synthesis Parameters on Phase Purity, Crystallinity and Particle Size of SAPO-34
An account is presented on investigation of the effects of synthesis parameters, i.e., reaction sources, silica to alumina ratio, acid molar ratio and crystallization conditions on the crystallinity, morphology and particle size of SAPO-34. The synthesis conditions were designed to produce small particles with narrow size range. The prepared samples were characterized by XRD and SE...
