Applying simple PAT tools to crystallisation in process chemistry

23 October 2017 | By

Crystallisation is a common step in the synthesis of organic compounds used to isolate and purify the desired product. As the importance of crystallisation has increased and chemists improve the processes involved, process analytical technology (PAT) tools can be used to design, analyse, and control them. This article considers the…
