Crystallization of paracetamol was carried out under magnetic field in pure aqueous solution at ambient condition for the first time. Solutions at different supersaturation levels σ = 0.28-1.6 were exposed to various magnetic flux densities in the range 160-510 Gauss and the grown crystals were compared with that grown in the absence of magnetic field. Both in the absence and presence of magnetic field, solution yields only stable mono paracetamol and does not favors the metastable ortho polymorph at all supersaturation levels. The presence of magnetic field reduces the rate of crystal nucleations as well as modifies the habit of the nucleated mono paracetamol. Crystals obtained in the presence of magnetic field were of good quality and highly transparent as compared to the crystals grown in the absence of magnetic field. The induction period of the nucleation in solution decreases significantly with increase in magnetic flux density at all supersaturation ranges. The internal structure and thermal stability of the grown paracetamol crystal was confirmed by PXRD and DSC analysis.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
