Abstract
Recently, there has been an increase in the use of numerical simulation technology in pharmaceutical preparation processes. Numerical simulation can contribute to a better understanding of processes, reduce experimental costs, optimize preparation processes, and improve product quality. The intermediate material of most dosage forms is powder or granules, especially in the case of solid preparations. The macroscopic behavior of particle materials is controlled by the interactions of individual particles with each other and surrounding fluids. Therefore, it is very important to analyze and control the microscopic details of the preparation process for solid preparations. Since tablets are one of the most widely used oral solid preparations, and the preparation process is relatively complex and involves numerous units of operation, it is especially important to analyze and control the tablet production process. The present paper discusses recent advances in numerical simulation technology for the preparation of tablets, including drying, mixing, granulation, tableting, and coating. It covers computational fluid dynamics (CFD), discrete element method (DEM), population balance model (PBM), finite element method (FEM), Lattice-Boltzmann model (LBM), and Monte Carlo model (MC). The application and deficiencies of these models in tablet preparation unit operations are discussed. Furthermore, the paper provides a systematic reference for the control and analysis of the tablet preparation process and provides insight into the future direction of numerical simulation technology in the pharmaceutical industry.
