Process synthesis controllability

Thus, methods are now becoming available such that process systems can be designed to manufacture crystal products of desired chemical and physical properties and characteristics under optimal conditions. In this chapter, the essential features of methods for the analysis of particulate crystal formation and subsequent solid-liquid separation operations discussed in Chapters 3 and 4 will be recapitulated. The interaction between crystallization and downstream processing will be illustrated by practical examples and problems highlighted. Procedures for industrial crystallization process analysis, synthesis and optimization will then be considered and aspects of process simulation, control and sustainable manufacture reviewed.

Some new benzanthrone dyes were synthesized and applied for the one-step colouration and stabilization of polystyrene. The chemical structures of monomeric benzanthrone dye (formula 1), the stabilizer TTMP 2,2-(2,2,6,6-tetramethylpiperidine-l-yl)-4,6-dichloro-l,3,5-triazine (formula 2) and the new synthetic product showing both colouration and stabillizer capacity (formula 3) are shown in Fig. 3.135. The synthesis process was controlled by TLC using a silica stationary phase and an n-heptane-acetone (1 1, v/v)... 

Production of the API begins with the selection of a synthetic route, as determined in the development program. Raw materials are added into a reaction vessel. These raw materials as reactants are heated or cooled in the reaction vessel (normal range is from -15 to 140 °C purpose-built vessels are needed for extreme reactions that require lower or higher temperature controls or pressurization of reaction processes). The chemical synthesis reactions are monitored and controlled via sensor probes (pH, temperature, and pressure) with in-process feedback controls for adjustments and alarms when necessary. Samples are withdrawn at dehned intervals for analysis to determine the reaction progress. Catalysts, including enzymes, may be added to speed up and direct the reaction along a certain pathway. 

To gain FDA approval or license for marketing, a pharmaceutical product must be shown to be safe and effective for its proposed or intended use. The drug company or sponsor must also provide evidence to show that the processes and control procedures used for synthesis, manufacture, and packaging are independently validated to ensure that the pharmaceutical product meets established standards of quality. The overall effort from the inception of a new molecular entity and the establishment of analytical, scale-up, and quality control procedures, to the collection of safety and efficacy data for consideration by the FDA as part of an NDA or BLA, is called the drug development process. 

Note, however, that most of the research work in process synthesis has been based on the single-objective simplification with the notable exception of the recent work of Luyben and Floudas (1994a, b) on the interaction of design/synthesis and control. As a result, in the rest of this book we will focus on process synthesis approaches that are single-objective or decompose the original problem so as to become a single-objective problem.

It has been found that viruses (Appendix 10) utilize a number of virus specific enzymes during replication. These enzymes and the processes they control are significantly different from those of the host cell to make a useful target for medicinal chemists. Consequently, antiviral drugs usually act by either inhibiting viral nucleic acid synthesis, inhibit attachment to and penetration of the host cell or inhibit viral protein synthesis.

Synthesis is the step in design where one conjectures the building blocks and their interconnection to create a structure which can meet stated design requirements. This review paper first defines chemical process synthesis and indicates the nature of the research problems—to find representations, evaluation functions and search strategies for a potentially nearly infinite problem. It then discusses synthesis research and the most significant results in each of six areas—heat exchanger networks, separation systems, separation systems with heat integration, reaction paths, total flowsheets and control systems.
