Gas antisolvent crystallization - from fundamentals to industrial applications

Gas Antisolvent Processes offer several benefits for the production of high-quality solids e.g. for nutritional or pharmaceutical use. In recent years the crystallization with supercritical fluids has gained growing interest, since it allows an effective micronization of solids without any loss of product quality. Taking the process into industrial applications is still a risky task and affords a lot of experimental groundwork. Within this presentation a short overview shall be given about our work in recent years followed by some concepts useful for plant design in future.
