Abstract
The separation and purification of plant-based Active Pharmaceutical Ingredients (API) from extracts is a crucial part in pharmaceutical process development. For the purification of the antimalarial drug component artemisinin (ARTE) from an Artemisia anna L. toluene extract, antisolvent crystallization is considered. Solubilities of ARTE in binary solvent mixtures of toluene and two potential antisolvents, n-heptane and ethanol, were determined at temperatures from 278.15 K to 313.15 K. The experimental work was supported by the application of various models, utilizing varying amounts of experimental input data. The goal was the identification of models that are able to predict solubilities in binary solvent mixtures sufficiently accurate and, thus, can help to reduce the experimental effort for future solvent screenings. In this study, we applied the PC-SAFT model both with and without fitting the binary interaction parameter kij between ARTE and the respective solvent, as well as the empirical Jouyban-Acree model. From the experiments, n-heptane demonstrated to be a promising antisolvent, while ethanol acted more as a cosolvent. All models tested were capable of distinguishing between effective and ineffective antisolvents. The purely predictive PC-SAFT model applied with kij = 0 exhibited the largest deviation from the experimental data. This was followed by the PC-SAFT model including fitted kij values, based on at least four experimental data points. The Jouyban-Acree model fitted the data most accurately. Its parametrization required a minimum of ten experimental data points.

Abstract
Mother liquor sugar (MLS), as the by-product of stevia production, contained ~65% steviol glycosides (SGs). Recovery of the SGs from MLS was achieved by crystallization coupled with reversed-phase chromatography. Crystallization was done by dissolving MLS in methanol solution and SGs were crystallized due to the polarity difference from the medium. Composition of SGs crystals differed with various temperature, time, solid-to-liquid ratio and water content. SGs were 42.25% recovered with high purity of 96.89% under optimal conditions (solid-to-liquid ratio = 1:5 (w/v), T = 25 °C, t = 24 h) in absolute methanol. The liquid phase after crystallization was subsequently subjected to reversed-phase chromatography, whereby the impurities were firstly eluted with 35% (v/v) ethanol solution and the purified SGs were then desorbed by absolute ethanol, finally recovering 95.20% of SGs in the purity of 98.08%. The total SGs recovery of the whole procedure was 97.23%. The two-step purification was easy-to-operate and feasible to scale-up for industrial application.

Abstract
In this study, process integration for crystallization of a priori purified Artemisia annua L. is investigated. For this total process, the integration operation boundaries and behavior of the crystals are studied. This is performed focusing on a conceptual process design study for artemisinin, aiming towards the development of a crystallization step under given parameters by process integration. At first, different crystallization systems consisting of ethanol-water or acetone-water mixtures are compared. In subsequent steps, the metastable zone width and the behavior of the crystals regarding agglomeration and breakage are checked. Furthermore, the sensitivities of process variables based on several process parameters are investigated. Additionally, the final process integration of crystallization as a combined purification and isolation step is studied.

Abstract
The article summarizes a systematic process design for the extraction and purification of artemisinin from annual mugwort (Artemisia annua L.). Artemisinin serves as an anti-malaria drug, therefore, resource-efficient and economic processes for its production are needed. The process design was based on lab-scale experiments and afterwards piloted on miniplant-scale at the institute. In this part of the article, a detailed economic feasibility studies including a reference process as a benchmark the lab-scale process and the pilot-scale process is given. Relevant differences between the different scales are discussed. The details of the respective unit operations (solid-liquid extraction, liquid-liquid extraction, chromatography and crystallization) are presented in dedicated articles. The study showed that even miniaturized lab-scale experiments are able to deliver data detailed enough for scale-up calculations on a theoretical basis. To our knowledge, a comparable systematic process design and piloting was never performed by academia before.

Abstract
This study proposes an ultrasound-horn system for the extraction of a natural active compound "artemisinin" from Artemisia annua L. leaves as an alternative to hot maceration technique. Ultrasound leaching improves artemisinin recovery at all temperatures where only ten minutes is required to recover 70% (4.42mgg-1) compared to 60min of conventional hot leaching for the same yield. For instance, ultrasound treatment at 30°C produced a higher yield than the one obtained by conventional maceration at 40°C. Kinetic study suggests that the extraction pattern can be assimilated, during the first ten minutes, to a first order steady state, from which activation energy calculations revealed that each gram of artemisinin required 7.38kJ in ultrasound versus 10.3kJ in the conventional system. Modeling results indicate the presence of two extraction stages, a faster stage with a diffusion coefficient of 19×10-5cm2min-1 for ultrasound technique at 40°C, seven times higher than the conventional one; and a second deceleration stage similar for both techniques with diffusion coefficient ranging from 1.7 to 3.1×10-5cm2min-1. It is noted that the efficient ultrasound extraction potential implies extraction of higher amount of co-metabolites so low artemisinin crystal purity is engendered but a combination with a purification step using activated charcoal and celite adsorbents produced crystals with comparable purity for conventional and ultrasound samples.
