Design of a Supercritical Co2 Anti-Solvent Plug Flow Particle Formation Device

Designing cleaner crystallization processes that control particle size is an important area of research to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Drug delivery systems such as inhalation or intravenous dosage requires a very precise definition of the particles size and shape. Supercritical CO2 has unique properties to control the particles size and shape. It is a non-toxic anti-solvent for the pharmaceutical industry that mixes with the solution faster than conventional solvents
