The 2011 American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE) Annual Meeting Separations Division (02) sessions will focus on how to better control crystallisation conditions, improve cycle times and optimise product quality. One session co-chaired by Mettler Toledo’s Terry Redman, ‘PAT for Crystallisation development and manufacturing’, is currently accepting papers on Process Analytical Technologies (PAT) for crystallisation process development. Abstracts must be submitted by 2 May 2011.
The AIChE Annual Meeting will be held from 16 – 21 October 2011 at the Minneapolis Convention Center, Minneapolis, MN. Separations Division sessions promise to deliver timely information on characterising crystallisation processes for improved results.
Submitted PAT papers may include various spectroscopy (FTIR, NIR, Raman), particle size and counting techniques (FBRM, PVM), as well as other online or inline monitoring or sensing techniques. Novel approaches and methodologies to drive crystallisation development are of particular interest.
Additional sessions by the Crystallisation and Evaporation group in the Separations Division (02) include Crystallisation of Pharmaceutical and Biological Molecules (Marina Tsianou and Christopher Burcham); Advances and Case Studies in Crystallisation and Post-Crystallisation Processing (Derek Griffin and Bruce Hook); and Particle Formulation and Crystallisation Processes from Liquids, Slurries and Emulsions (Ranjit Thakur and Seth Huggins).
