Salicylic Acid Crystal Growth by pH Swing

Description

Salicylic acid crystal growth by pH swing uses a chemical change to make solid salicylic acid form from solution. This crystallization method is common in biochemical processing, where scientists separate solids from liquids or large molecules from small ones. Crystallization is especially important in pharmaceutical, chemic...

Transcript

Industrial crystallization is applied for the separation and purification of compounds and mixtures. In order to design economical systems, various parameters have to be studied. Crystallization is used for the separation of chiral compounds and amino acids, or for purification of antibiotics, food additives and agrochemical compounds. Different...
