Ultrasound-Assisted Slug-Flow Tubular Crystallization for Preparation of Fine Ibuprofen Crystals

Mingpu Yuan et al.

Summary: An ultrasonic-assisted tubular crystallization system was developed to prepare ibuprofen crystals with an average particle size of 6.23 µm. The results showed that ultrasound promoted nucleation and reduced crystal aggregation. The high degree of continuous supersaturation and enhanced micromixing were key factors for the formation of ibuprofen fine crystals.

Investigation of Wet Milling and Indirect Ultrasound as Means for Controlling Nucleation in the Continuous Crystallization of an Active Pharmaceutical Ingredient

Yihui Yang et al.

Summary: This study compared the use of wet milling and indirect ultrasound in promoting nucleation and controlling particle size during continuous crystallization of an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API). Both methods significantly improved nucleation kinetics, with the wet mill achieving a minimum d(50) of 27 and ultrasound achieving 36.8 μm. The effectiveness of wet milling was demonstrated in a continuous crystallization process of the API, achieving a steady state with minimal fouling and discussing strategies for improving overall robustness in routine manufacturing.

Ultrasound in Continuous Tubular Crystallizers: Parameters Affecting the Nucleation Rate

Arne Vancleef et al.

Summary: The study on controlling nucleation rate in continuous ultrasonic processes found that ultrasound-assisted nucleation process is presumably dominated by secondary nucleation. Parameters such as supersaturation, residence time, and flow rate also have a strong influence on nucleation rate. Additionally, the influence of ultrasonic power is crucial but levels off once a certain amount is reached.
