This study presents a detailed investigation of thin-film evaporation for solvent recovery, covering thermodynamic modeling, separation efficiency analysis, and case studies from pharmaceutical plants implementing solvent recycling strategies. The discussion includes optimization of process parameters to maximize recovery yield, minimize degradation of active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs), and minimize downtime due to process upsets.
Economic and environmental impacts of solvent recovery via thin-film evaporation are evaluated, including cost savings analysis, carbon footprint reduction, and integration with continuous manufacturing systems. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of how thin-film evaporation can be leveraged to achieve greener pharmaceutical processing and align with global sustainability initiatives.
