Abstract
Savolitinib is a compound that can crystallize in an undesirable, high aspect ratio needle morphology. This morphology type may cause issues in downstream processing. This paper demonstrates a unique method to alter the crystal morphology of savolitinib to make it more processable, resulting in the active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) crystallizing out in considerably more processable stellates. The volatile deep eutectic solvent technique presents a simple and scalable method for changing the crystal morphology while maintaining the polymorph of the API in this case, confirmed via powder X-ray diffraction and differential scanning calorimetry analysis.

Abstract
Chiral compounds can exist as pairs of nonsuperimposable stereoisomers (enantiomers) possessing the same physical properties but interacting differently with biological systems. This makes them interesting materials to be explored by the pharmaceutical and food industries. In this study, to obtain pure enantiomers from their conglomerates, a method that involves using a two-vessel system for deracemization of N-(2-methylbenzylidene) phenylglycine amide (NMPA) was developed. In this method, a suspension was transferred with a pulsating pumping profile between two inter-connected stirred vessels that were set at constant temperatures. As the suspension was exposed to more rapid changes in temperature, it resulted in the speeding up of the process and thus enhancing productivity in comparison to a single vessel system. The results confirmed successful deracemization of NMPA. A modified pumping profile and tubing design eliminated the issue of clogging of the transfer tubes and ensured effective suspension transfer for longer durations. Operating parameters, such as initial enantiomeric excess, vessel residence time, and suspension density were also investigated. In this method, optimization of residence time was necessary to enhance the efficiency of the process further. Results confirmed that this methodology has the potential to be more adaptable and scalable as it involved no mechanical attrition.

Abstract
Guiding metal organic framework (MOF) morphology, especially without the need for chemical additives, still remains a challenge. For the first time, we report a unique surface guiding approach in controlling the crystal morphology formation of zeolitic imidazole framework-8 (ZIF-8) and HKUST-1 MOFs on disrupted alkanethiol self-assembled monolayer (SAM)-covered Au substrates. Selective molecule removal is applied to generate diverse SAM matrices rich in artificial molecular defects in a monolayer to direct the dynamic crystal growth process. When a 11-mercaptoundecanol alkanethiol monolayer is ruptured, the hydroxyl tail groups of surface residue molecules act as nucleating sites by coordination with precursor metal ions. Meanwhile, the exposed alkane chain backbones stabilize a particular facet of MOF nuclei in the dynamic growth by slowing down their crystal growth rates along a specific direction. The competitive formation between the [110] and [100] planes of ZIF-8 ultimately regulates the crystal shapes from rhombic dodecahedron, truncated rhombic dodecahedron, and truncated cube to cube. Similarly, changeable morphologies of HKUST-1 crystals are also achieved from cube and tetrakaidekahedron to octahedron, originating from the competitive selection between the [100] and [111] planes. In addition to the artificial matrix preferred orientation of initial nucleation, parameters such as temperature also play a crucial role in the resulting crystal morphology. Standing on the additive-free MOF crystal morphology growth control, porous architectures prepared in this approach can act as templates for ligand-free metal (Au, Ag, and Cu) nanocluster synthesis. The nanocluster-embedded MOF structures represent distinct crystal morphology-dependent optical properties, and interestingly, their fluorescence emission can be highly enhanced by facet-induced nanocluster packing alignments. These findings not only provide a unique thought on MOF crystal morphology guidance but also pave a new route for the accompanied property investigation and further application.

Abstract
The surface of particles is the hotspot of interaction with their environment and is therefore a major target for particle engineering. Particles with tailored coatings are greatly desired for a range of different applications. Amorphous coatings applied via film coating or microencapsulation have frequently been described in the pharmaceutical context and usually result in homogeneous surfaces. In the present study we have been exploring the feasibility of coating core particles with crystalline substances, a matter that has rarely been investigated. The expansion of the range of possible coating materials to include small organic molecules enables completely new product properties to be achieved. We present an approach based on temperature cycles performed in a tubular crystallizer to result in engineered crystalline coatings on excipient core particles. By manipulating the process settings and by the choice of coating substance we are able to tailor surface roughness, topography as well as surface chemistry. Benefits of our approach are demonstrated by using resulting particles as carriers in dry-powder-inhaler formulations. Depending on the resulting surface chemistry and surface roughness, coated carrier particles show varying fitness for delivering the model API salbutamol sulphate to the lung.

Abstract
The objective of the research was to improve the process design of a combined antisolvent-cooling crystallization to reduce the degree of agglomeration of a real active pharmaceutical ingredient product, which was manufactured using a crystallization stage employing a methanol/water solvent system. Knowledge was gained from the use of process analytical technology (PAT) tools to monitor the process variables, allowing particle size, degree of agglomeration, solute concentration, and supersaturation to be tracked throughout the process. Based on knowledge of the solubility behavior and interpretation of the PAT histories, changes were made to the sequences of antisolvent addition and cooling within the crystallization process to reduce agglomeration in the final product. Different seed loadings and seeding addition points were also investigated to maintain operation within lower supersaturation regions of the phase diagram to limit agglomeration and avoid an undesired polymorphic transformation to an unstable form. The improved sequences of operations and seeding conditions did not provide sufficient improvement in the product quality and so were augmented by applying wet milling for further deagglomeration followed by temperature cycling to remove fine particles generated during milling. Open-loop heating and cooling cycles produced some limited improvements, whereas closed-loop direct nucleation control methods using FBRM as a feedback sensor for particle counts per second were much more successful at producing high-quality crystals of the desired polymorphic form. The work shows that understanding the trajectory of the process through the phase diagram to follow appropriate supersaturation profiles gives improved control of the various kinetic mechanisms and can be used to improve the quality of the final product.

Abstract
Volatile markets and increasing demands for quality and fast availability of specialty chemical products have motivated the rise of small-scale, integrated, and modular continuous processing plants. As a significant unit operation used for product isolation and purification, cooling crystallization is part of this trend. Here, the small-scale and integrated quasi-continuous filter belt crystallizer (QCFBC) combines cooling crystallization, solid-liquid separation, and drying on a single apparatus. This contribution shows the general working principle, different operation modes, and possibilities of temperature control with the modular setup. For precise temperature control in cooling crystallization, Peltier elements show promising results in a systematic study of different operation parameters. Sucrose/water was used as a model substance system. The results confirm that seed crystal properties are the most important parameter in crystallization processes. Additionally, an oscillating temperature profile has a narrowing effect on the crystal size distribution (CSD). The integrated, small-scale, and modular setup of the QCFBC offers high degrees of flexibility, process control, and adaptability to cope with future market demands.

Abstract
![]()
Enantiomeric
purity is of prime importance for several industries,
specifically in the production of pharmaceuticals. Crystallization
processes can be used to obtain pure enantiomers in a suitable solid
form. However, some process variants inherently rely on kinetic enhancement
(preferential crystallization) of the desired enantiomer or on complex
interactions of several phenomena (e.g., attrition-enhanced deracemization
and Viedma ripening). Thus, a process analytical technology able to
measure the enantiomeric composition of both the solid phase and the
liquid phase would be valuable to track and eventually control such
processes. This study presents the design and development of a novel
automated analytical monitoring system that achieves this. The designed
setup tracks the enantiomeric excess (ee) using a
continuous closed-loop sampling loop that is coupled to a polarimeter
and an attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy
spectrometer. By heating the loop and alternately sampling either
the liquid or the suspension, the combination of these measurements
allows tracking of the ee of both the liquid and
the solid. This work demonstrates a proof of concept of both the experimental
and theoretical aspects of the new system.

Abstract
A microfluidic approach to seeded crystallization has been demonstrated using abacavir hemisulfate, a nucleoside analog reverse transcriptase inhibitor, in droplet reactors to control polymorphism and produce particles with a low particle size distribution. Two techniques are introduced: (1) the first technique involves an emulsion system consisting of a dispersed phase solvent and a continuous phase, which holds slight solubility of the dispersed phase solvent. The dispersed phase contains both a dissolved active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) and seeds of the desired polymorph. While the continuous phase enables solvent extraction, the negligible solubility of the API allows for growth of seeds inside droplets via extraction and subsequent API saturation. This technique demonstrates the ability to crystallize the API in spherical agglomerates via slow extraction of droplets. (2) The second technique utilizes a combined dispersed phase by joining in-flow a seed suspension stream with a supersaturated active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) stream. The combined dispersed phase is emulsified in a continuous phase for which the dispersed phase solvent and the API are both insoluble - droplets are incubated at temperatures below their saturation limit to induce crystal growth. Decreasing the concentration of seeds in its input stream resulted in a decreased number of crystals per droplet, increase in crystal size, and decrease in PSD. Temperature cycling was utilized as a proof of concept to demonstrate the ability to reduce the number of seeds per droplet where the optimal goal is to obtain a single seed per droplet for all droplets. Utilizing this approach in conjunction with the ability to produce monodispersed droplet reactors allows for enhanced control of particle size distribution (PSD) by precisely controlling the available mass for each individual seed crystal. The development of this technique as a proof-of-concept for crystallization can be expanded to manufacturing scales in a continuous manner using parallelized droplet generators and flow reactors to precisely control the temperature and crystal growth kinetics of individual droplets.

Abstract
Harvesting of near infrared (NIR) light in the abundant and environmentally friendly solar spectrum is particularly significant to enhance the utilization rate of the cleanest energy on earth. Appreciating the unique nonlinear optical properties of upconversion materials for converting low-energy incident light into high-energy radiation, they become the most promising candidates for fabricating NIR light-active photocatalytic systems by integrating with semiconductors. The present review summarizes recent NIR light-active photocatalytic systems based on a sequence of NaYF4-based, fluoride-based, oxide-based and Ln3+ ion-doped semiconductor-based photocatalysts for degradation of organic molecules. In addition, we provide an in-depth analysis of various photocatalytic mechanisms and enhancement effects for efficient photo-redox performance of different upconversion semiconductor photocatalysts. We envision that this review can inspire multidisciplinary research interest in rational design and fabrication of efficient full-spectrum active (UV-visible-NIR) photocatalytic systems and their wider applications in solar energy conversion.

Abstract
We report, for the first time, that the size of impellers is the exception to Denk and Botsaris's work where a stirrer of the smallest surface area led to close to 100% deracemization, while the data from the largest impeller agreed with the results of Denk and Botsaris, displaying a racemic mixture.

Abstract
Size, shape, and polymorphic form are the critical attributes of crystalline particles and represent the major focus of today's crystallization process design. This work demonstrates how crystal properties can be tuned efficiently in solution via a tubular crystallizer that facilitates rapid temperature cycling. Controlled crystal growth, dissolution, and secondary nucleation allow a precise control of the crystal size and shape distribution, as well as polymorphic composition. Tubular crystallizers utilizing segmented flow such as the one presented in our work can provide plug flow characteristics, fast heating and cooling, allowing for rapid changes of the supersaturation. This makes them superior for crystal engineering over common crystallizers. Characterization of particle transport, however, revealed that careful selection of process parameters, such as tubing diameter, flow rates, solvents, etc., is crucial to achieve the full benefits of such reactors.

Abstract
The control of nucleation in crystallization processes is a challenging task due to the often lacking knowledge on the process kinetics. Inflexible (predetermined) control strategies fail to grow the nucleated crystals to the desired quality because of the variability in the process conditions, disturbances, and the stochastic nature of crystal nucleation. Previously, the concept of microwave assisted direct nucleation control (DNC) was demonstrated in a laboratory setup to control the crystal size distribution in a batch crystallization process by manipulating the number of particles in the system. Rapid temperature cycling was used to manipulate the super(under)saturation and hence the number of crystals. The rapid heating response achieved with the microwave heating improved the DNC control efficiency, resulting in halving of the batch time. As an extension, this work presents a novel design in which the microwave applicator is integrated in the crystallizer, hence avoiding the external loop though the microwaves oven. DNC implemented in the 4 L unseeded crystallizer, at various count set points, resulted in strong efficiency enhancement of DNC, when compared to the performance with a slow responding system. The demonstrated crystallizer design is a basis for extending the enhanced process control opportunity to other applications.

Abstract
Crystal size and shape can be manipulated to enhance the qualities of the final product. In this work the steady-state shape and size of succinic acid crystals, with and without a polymeric additive (Pluronic P123) at 350 mL, scale is reported. The effect of the amplitude of cycles as well as the heating/cooling rates is described, and convergent cycling (direct nucleation control) is compared to static cycling. The results show that the shape of succinic acid crystals changes from plate- to diamond-like after multiple cycling steps, and that the time required for this morphology change to occur is strongly related to the type of cycling. Addition of the polymer is shown to affect both the final shape of the crystals and the time needed to reach size and shape steady-state conditions. It is shown how this phenomenon can be used to improve the design of the crystallization step in order to achieve more efficient downstream operations and, in general, to help optimize the whole manufacturing process.
