Batch drying

The fact that in HPLC only UV-active components are registered, whereas in titration all basic functional groups are detected constitutes a difference in specificity (quality) and sensitivity (quantity) of these two methods relative to a given impurity. See Fig. 4.17 (left). [Solvent A (water) behaves differently from the other four as can be seen from Fig. 4.17 (right). The material was known to exist in a crystal modification that theoretically contains 3.2% water, and moderate drying will most likely drive off only the excess Indeed, the best-dried batches are all close to the theoretical point (circle, arrow in Figs. 4.16-17), and not near zero. This is only partly reflected in Table 4.15, column A for this reason tabular and graphic information has to be combined. Solvent B, which is an alcohol, behaves more like water... 

The moisture content of the 15 tray-dried batches following final mix remained essentially unchanged from the drying step. The batches from the fluid bed process gained moisture. This is probably attributable to handling very dry material in a relatively humid environment. Both groups are still below the target for this step of 1.5 %, however. 

Table 2 gives a comparison of the moisture contents following the drying and tumbling steps. The sizable increase in mean moisture content of the fluid bed-dried batches deserves further study. To determine whether or not all batches were uniformly affected, the mean moisture content was plotted in the order in which the batches were produced. Whereas the plot for the tray-dried batches is unremarkable, the fluid bed process chart (Fig. 4) depicts an unnatural pattern. Further investigation discloses that heating, ventilation, and air condition (HVAC) problems were experienced by the area in which a number of these batches were blended.

Freeze-drying can be implemented in various ways the most common of which are manifold drying, batch drying and bulk drying. Each is used for a different purpose, the most suitable choice in each case depending on the specific initial and end products.

Calcium formate may also be supplied in powder form and in such cases should be added to the dry batch before mixing. Liquid admixtures are generally considered easier to dispense accurately and are more readily dispersable evenly through the mix. 

Powder admixtures are normally added to the dry batch immediately prior to mixing. 

In some cases the dryers are operated in such a way that a batch of solids is loaded into the dryer and it progressively moves through the dryer. New batches are loaded at specified time intervals and at the same moment dry batches are removed at the other end. Therefore, the material is not moving continuously but by step increments. This is a typical situation in a tunnel dryer where trucks are loaded at one end of a tunnel and unloaded at the other, as shown in Figure 3.23. 

Precipitation is an operation known for producing small crystals that are difficult to filter and dry. Batch precipitation is usually carried out in the form of a semibatch process, i.e., one or two reactants are continuously added to the reactor. The control of the particle size distribution in a precipitation process is very complicated because of the high level of supersaturation generated by the fast reaction. According to Mersmann [16], the important factors for sparingly soluble systems in isothermal precipitation are ...
