Experimental Characterization and Population Balance Modeling of the Polymorph Transformation of l-Glutamic Acid

Abstract: In this work, the polymorph transformation of the metastable R to the stable β polymorph of L-glutamic acid at 45 °C was monitored using in situ Raman spectroscopy. In a series of seeded transformation experiments, the effect of different operating conditions on the transformation was studied. Both increasing seed mass and increasing stirring rate decrease the transformation time, thus suggesting an attrition-based secondary nucleation mechanism of the β polymorph. Moreover, it was found that no pure seed crys… Show more

“…Crystals of the ␣ polymorph of l-glutamic acid have been precipitated by mixing equimolar amounts of l-glutamic acid monosodium salt hydrate (Sigma Aldrich, purity >99%) and hydrochloric acid (Fluka, 37%) in water and continuous stirring for 1 h at 5 • C (Cornel et al, 2009). The product suspension was split into two fractions.…”

“…Finally, when the solute concentration is below the solubility of the a-form glutamic acid, the polymorphic transformation from the a-to b-form may occur through SMPT. Then, it is necessary to consider the dissolution of the aform in the kinetic scheme, which is given as 13,22 …”
