Thus, very large number of tiny crystals is formed with broad particle size distribution. Subsequently, possible crystal growth occurs on the surface of these tiny crystals (depending on concentration). Ideal crystallization – additon of crystal seeds on which (and only there) the crystal growth occurs – number of crystals thus remains the same as in the beginning of crystallization \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png SEEDING Very important operation of the crystallization process that principally influences various attributes of the solid product; DEVIL IS HIDDEN IN DETAILS The amount of seed (seed loading), particle size distribution of the seed can dramatically affect the result of crystallization; Generally, it is close to ideal to seed in the region of lower oversaturation, and thus eliminate primary or secondary nucleation; Based on the assumption that no primary and secondary nucleation occurs the number of crystals is the same as the number of seed crystals (on every seed crystal additional deposits of solid material is accumulated); Cs = seed loading ratio \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png SEEDING Theoretically, for desired particle size of a product, it is possible to calculate seed particle size (direct proporsion); Practically, there are certain limitations: •In the case Cs is too low → insufficient seed loading → small surface area → leads to large oversaturation and primary and secondary nucleation → not robust and small particle size → frequent agglomeration; • •In the case Cs is too high → excessive seed loading → not economical. • CRITICAL SEED LOADING RATIO CS* The lowest possible seed loading at which no nucleation occurs When CS* is used, unimodal particle size distribution is obtained regardless used temperature gradient, yield and volume of a crystallizer (under circumstances that no primary and secondary nucleation occurs – low oversaturation is maintained). \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png SEEDING CS* = 2,17 x 10-6 x LSEED2 i = 1 (needles), 2 (plates) or 3 (cubes) \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png SEEDING Timing of seed addition • critical factor for a successful process; • • too early → seeds could be dissolved; • • too late → spontaneous nucleation might occur • • • Seed quality • narrow particle size distribution as much as possible; • •always add seed as a suspension in slightly undersaturated solution; • • always use seed with the highest possible purity. \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png SEEDING Seed loading Paul, E.L.; Tung, H.-H.; Midler, M. Powder Tech, 150, 133 (2005) „Pinch“ – used mostly in early phase of development on small scale with limited amount of material. Rarely effective or reliable on larger scale. Small (< 1%) – aid in more controlled crystallization, but not adequate to achieve primarily growth on scale-up. Large (5-10%) – to improve the probability of growth with the possibility of preventing further nucleation and bimodal distribution. Massive – mostly used in continuous operations. Provides maximum opportunity for all growth. \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png SEEDING Practical example of seeding: Beckmann, W. Org.

The supersaturation is experimentally determined in the course of the process and possibly corrected according to values measured in real time (ATR-FTIR) – can be used to improve for the next batches. \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png CRYSTALLIZATION TRAJECTORY Direct nucleation control (DNC) Formation of crystalline entities/seeds directly in the system without external seeds (very useful for highly toxic compounds); Does not require any information on the crystallization kinetics; Overall number and size distribution of formed crystalline entities/seeds is controlled (FBRM) and parameters that influence these attributes are modified in the course of crystallization (temperature, antisolvent addition, solvent evaporation); Thus, relatively narrow distribution of crystal size can be obtained – by appropriate temperature control fractions of very small crystals are dissolved again; \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png CRYSTALLIZATION TRAJECTORY Direct nucleation control (DNC) \\DROBO-FS\QuickDrops\JB\PPTX NG\Droplets\LightingOverlay.png Droplets-HD-Content-R1d.png CRYSTALLIZATION TRAJECTORY Direct nucleation control (DNC) Practical example of application: Abu Bakar, M.R.; Nagy, Z.K.; Saleemi, A.N.; Rielly Ch.D.

The achiral supplement should provide very soluble salts with the racemate so this will not crystallize and ruin the resolution. The less soluble (desired) salt will start to crystallize and will consume most of a chiral resolving agent thus leaving only small amount of a chiral resolving agent for the more soluble diastereomer which, in ideal case, will not crystallize.
