Green credentials of crystallisation process turned around by rotary cone dryer tweak
Mechanochemistry helps transformations and cocrystallisations cut solvent use on an industrial scale
Scientists in Canada have united mechanochemistry with repurposed lab equipment to develop a new synthesis and crystallisation process. It is scalable and efficient, uses little to no solvent and combines the crystallisation and drying processes, so could benefit the pharmaceutical industry by saving it time and money when making active pharmaceutical ingredients, as well as being less damaging to the environment than current methods.
