PRODUCTION OF VERY FINE CRYSTALS
Fine
powders are important components in pharmaceutical operations. If a substance
has a steep solubility curve, fine crystals are produced by quickly cooling the
solution through the metastable region to conditions in which the rate of
nucleation is high and the rate of crystal growth is low. This method is not
always possible, and the precipitation methods described above may be adopted.
