A Multi-gradient Continuous Crystallization Method Applicable for the
Reactive Crystallization Process
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the field of continuation and control of industrial crystallization processes, particularly to a multi-gradient continuous crystallization method applicable for the reactive crystallization process.
Background Technology
[0002] Reactive crystallization is one of the most common industrial crystallization methods, which has been widely applied in the fields of pharmaceuticals, food fermentation, and fine chemicals, etc. The crystallization process is of great significance to many pharmaceutical technologies. In addition, during the process of reactive crystallization, the pH value, the temperature, and the mixing method, etc., of the reactive crystallization would have a huge impact on the crystallization efficiency and product quality significantly, and further affect the crystal form and the purity of the product directly.
[0003] The reactive crystallization is always accompanied by an acidification process during the process of pharmaceutical production. At the early stage of reactive crystallization, organic molecules often exist in the form of oily with high viscosity, and the liquid-liquid separation would be occurred between the molecules and the solvent, which is called as oil precipitation phenomenon. In terms of the traditional batch production process, the formation of oily substance and the reactive crystallization are conducted in the same equipment, so that the supersaturation of organic molecules in the oil phase would continue to accumulate with the inflow of acidic solution, and thus it would eventually cause explosive nucleation, and further make the particle size of product be fine and the crystal is fragile as well as easy to agglomerate. All of which may result in the product being hard to filter, with excessive solvent residue, difficulty in washing, and requiring long drying time, as well as low purity, and further affect the product quality. Thus, it is necessary to further complete refined purification by recrystallization. This method for processing has low production efficiency, and requires a large amount of organic solvent to complete purification and refining, and thus, it would cause contaminate the product and pollute the environmental easily. In addition, in order to reduce the influence of oil precipitation on product quality during batch production, ueseriptions the frequently-used method is to add a large amount of seed crystals prior to the explosive nucleation of solution. This method not only puts forward higher requirements on the preparation of seed crystal, but also results in low yield of product batches on.
Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of the present invention is to provide a multi-gradient continuous crystallization method applicable for the reactive crystallization process to address the existing problems of the prior art described herein, and further optimize particle size distribution, remove mingled impurities, and thus the product quality would be improved effectively.
[0005] For the purpose of achieving the above objectives, the present invention proposed the following scheme: the present invention provides a multi-gradient continuous crystallization method applicable for the reactive crystallization process, which comprises the following steps:
[0006] (1) Form oily substance by means of reaction: continuously add ibuprofen sodium salt solution or cefmetazole sodium solution to the independent oily substance forming tank, and add acidic solution to the independent oily substance forming tank simultaneously, and then, complete oil precipitation;
[0007] (2) Complete the first order of reactive crystallization: convey materials to the mixer through a transfer pump by the independent oily substance forming tank; and the acidic solution would be mixed with the materials after being transferred to the mixer through another transfer pump simultaneously, and then, the product enters the first order of reactive crystallizer.
After that, complete cooling crystallization based upon controlling the pH value of the materials in the first order of reactive crystallizer;
[0008] (3) Complete the second order of reactive crystallization: the materials in the first order
of reactive crystallizer would be further mixed with the acidic solution through the mixer, and then entered the second order of reactive crystallizer. After that, complete temperature-controlled crystallization based upon controlling the pH value of the materials in the second order of reactive crystallizer;
[0009] (4) Complete the n-order of reactive crystallization: after repeating the process of step (2) and step (3) several times, the finished crystal can be obtained by dehydration treatment.
[0010] Further, equip an independent oily substance forming tank to separate the processes of
oil precipitation and crystallization. Different from the existing technology which conveys both materials to the reactive crystallizer simultaneously, this method can make the independent oily ueseriptions substance forming tank complete the formation of oily substance by means of reaction without crystal nucleation; and the acidic solution would be mixed with the material in the mixer, and
) thus it can make the mixing more uniform, and improve the crystallization quality and efficiency.
[0011] Preferably, taking the existing technical shortcomings into consideration, this method
can control the nucleation and growth of crystals effectively, which can not only dissolve fine crystals, reduce the mingled impurities, and improve the uniformity and purity of the product through regulating the pH value and temperature segmentally, but also accomplish the size classification of products, and further improve the production efficiency and product quality.
[0012] The said acidic solution shall be one of hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, nitric acid, or sulfuric acid aqueous solution.
[0013] The said independent oily substance forming tank can be a reactive crystallization kettle;
and the said reactive crystallizer can be a tube type mold or an oscillating tubular reactor.
[0014] Further, the crystallization kettle has the function of stirring and heat preservation, and the oil precipitation can be completed in the crystallization kettle prior to accomplishing the crystallization of the solution, while there is no crystallization occurs.
[0015] Further, each reactive crystallizer can implement independent heat exchange and the inner surface of the reaction layer of the reactive crystallizer is smooth, which would facilitate the discharge of crystals.
[0016] There is a crystal outlet is arranged between the said reactive crystallizer of each
previous order and the mixer of next order.
[0017] Preferably, each order of the reactive crystallizer can obtain products of different degrees of crystallinity; which is applicable for product classification, and thus, the crystal
products with different size distributions can be obtained.
[0018] The said delivery pump can be a vane pump, a peristaltic pump or a positive displacement pump.
[0019] The finished crystals can be added to the first order of reactive crystallizer described in
step (2).
[0020] Preferably, the formation of oily, gel, jelly or amorphous solids at the early stage conforms to the Ostwald distribution law, which refers to that in any process, the state formed
initially is the most unstable state with the free energy that is closest to the original state instead of the most stable state. This has become a postulation: i.e., the initial state of the crystallization ueseriptions process is an amorphous aggregate, and the difference in the time constant for transformation into a more stable crystalline state (crystal nucleus) is a critical and decisive factor related to the crystallization. At the early stage, it is difficult to distinguish the formation, nucleation, agglomeration and growth of aggregate.
[0021] The following possibilities, which are concluded depend on the time constant and the
physicochemical properties of the specific compound and system, can be deduced qualitatively: the initial oily or gel substance would agglomerate into large agglomerates instead of proceeding to transform into crystals. The initial oily or gel substance is transformed into an amorphous solid and stays at this stage instead of going on crystallization, while the
agglomerates would be formed. The initial oily or gel substance transforms into crystals as slowly as possible, and there is amorphous substance, and thus the agglomerates can be formed prior to obtaining discrete crystals.
[0022] Once the crystal is formed, whether it is slow or fast, there is almost no amorphous substance and the stable crystals can be obtained.
[0023] As we all know, some compounds never be crystallized out, and products obtained through phase separation are stable oily substance or amorphous solids. It is necessary to carry
out trial and error related to searching for solvents and conditions, or introducing exotic particle seeds to induce the crystal formation of new compounds. Fortunately, the development of combination techniques, which may facilitate such assessment, has not ceased. A key factor to success may be the removal of impurities to achieve extremely high purity, as at this stage,
even very few impurities are likely to have a strong impact on homogeneous nucleation.
[0024] The problems caused by agglomeration include the occlusion of solvents and impurities in crystalline aggregates. When these agglomerates are decomposed into small crystals
subsequently, such crystals would be captured during nucleation without growing up. Thus, the fine crystals would cause trouble for the downstream process.
[0025] Further, based upon the above reasons, the agglomeration shall be avoided generally. Thus, the first-stage of heuristic crystallization would be completed by nucleation for the first
time.
[0026] The temperature-controlled crystallization described in step (3) can be accomplished by means of continuous cooling crystallization or heating and re-dissolution.
[0027] Preferably, the process of heating and re-dissolution can realize the dissolution of some fine crystals, and eliminate some fine crystals, as well as optimize the particle size distribution, ueseriptions and thus, the mingled impurities caused by nucleation can be reduced. Compared with the prior art, the uniformity and purity of products have been improved, while the size classification can be achieved, and thus, this process can improve production efficiency and product quality.
[0028] The pH value of the reactive crystallizer of each adjacent previous order shall be greater than or equal to that of the reactive crystallizer of next order.
[0029] The present invention revealed the following technical effects: the present invention realized the classification of oil precipitation stage and crystallization process, and thus, it can effectively control the whole process of crystallization, and realize the hierarchical control of nucleation and crystal growth, and further improve the product quality, the purity and the uniformity. Furthermore, the present invention realized the coordinated regulation of pH value and temperature, so that it can control the product quality precisely. In addition, the present invention can obtain products with different size distributions, and thus, the size classification can be accomplished. Meanwhile, the present invention allows to add acid at intermediate stage via the mixer, and can improve the miscibility of solution, as well as reduce the sedimentation of crystals in the crystallizer by discharging fragment of crystalline at each stage, and control the temperature hierarchically, and thus, the heating, dissolution and cleaning of the crystallizer can be accomplished.
