In this paper, we report an investigation into the continuous crystallization of a model active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) using a continuous oscillatory baffled crystallizer (COBC). The results show that continuous crystallization offers significant advantages in terms of process, operation and costs, and delivers the isolation of the model API in just over 12 min compared to the 9 h and 40 min in a batch process.
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.
