Use in scaleup

Effects of Impurities nd Solvent. The presence of impurities usually decreases the growth rates of crystalline materials, and problems associated with the production of crystals smaller than desired are commonly attributed to contamination of feed solutions. Strict protocols should be followed in operating units upstream from a crystallizer to minimize the possibiUty of such occurrences. Equally important is monitoring the composition of recycle streams so as to detect possible accumulation of impurities. Furthermore, crystalliza tion kinetics used in scaleup should be obtained from experiments on solutions as similar as possible to those expected in the full-scale process.
