style="min-height:0px;"><div class="responsive-content-text-links "><div class="responsive-content-text-wrap"><div class="text"><p>To fully define "particle size distribution", we need to define "particle size". Spherical particle size is easy to be characterized by one number, the diameter (or the radius). Other types of particles have a wide variety of shapes, structures and phases, thus different three-dimensional elongations. A one-dimensional size function, such as spherical equivalent diameter, chord length, particle length or particle width, is frequently used in practice. Spherical equivalent diameter is defined as the equivalent diameter of a sphere having the same physical property. The volume based spherical equivalent diameter is obtained by calculating the diameter of a sphere with the same volume as that of the particle being studied.</p><p>However, while it is convenient to assign a single number to characterize a non-spherical particles system, it often does not reflect the full reality of the particles. The surface area of a needle 5 µm diameter X 50 µm length is 70% greater than that of a sphere with identical volume-based equivalent diameter (12.3 µm). This needle will handle and flow differently from the sphere during filtration or in a flow system. Therefore, it is critical to choose the right particle size parameter and analysis tool that fits the process being studied, and advantageous to be able to obtain PSD data three-dimensionally (e. g. via microscopy) and in-situ (by using in-process tools), which provides well-rounded understanding of the particles system in the native environment.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div

It has also been reported that particulate process plants take longer to start up, and are less likely to achieve desired production rates, versus those processing liquids or gases. Multiphase systems involving combinations of particles, droplets, and bubbles result in additional complexity and magnify the challenge of understanding, optimizing, and controlling the processes used to produce, modify, or separate them. Crystallization in particular is a challenging particle formation process where the particle size after isolation can have a dramatic impact on all downstream processing operations. The separation time of a slurry (Figure C) can be heavily extended if there co-exists small particles (Figure D).</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="responsivefeaturecontent

class="text"><p>When a laser beam passes through a dispersed particles system, large particles scatter light more intensely at small angles, and small particles scatter light less intensively but at larger angles. Laser diffraction analyzers do not directly measure the particle size, but collect the information of the angle and intensity of scattered light, and mathematically transform the information into the particle size distribution. Laser diffraction is one of the most commonly used measurement method, especially for particles from 0.5 µm to 1000 µm. This technique is a well validated analytical tool and an industrial standard for quality control (QC).</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="responsivefeaturecontent

class="text"><p>FBRM is the industry-standard measurement technique used for in-process measurement of particles. A rotationally scanning laser beam is launched down the probe tube and focused to a tight beam spot at the window contacting the process stream. During the scan, individual particles or particle structures will backscatter the laser light to the detector. The distances of the pulses of backscattered light are summarized into the particle size distribution, so called chord length distribution. Besides its inline nature, FBRM is a direct measurement method which records the sizes it actually "sees", not relying on indirect correlations such as particle size light scattering angle correlation.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="responsivefeaturecontent

Efforts</strong></h3><div class="text"><p>A successful laboratory analysis of particle and droplet systems requires the removal of a representative sample from the process, and the preparation of this sample for offline analysis. Most offline techniques have strict constraints on the range of concentration, size and shape of particles that can be measured accurately. This sample preparation procedure can be labor-intensive and expensive, since it often involves multiple steps necessary to meet these measurement constraints and can employ methods, such as filtration, rinsing, drying, subsampling, resuspension, surfactant addition, dilution and sonication.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="responsivefeaturecontent

For example, in the right figures, particles with different shapes but equivalent volumes are depicted. If particle size is reported based on volume, the spherical sample and the needle-shaped sample are identical. However, the behavior and throughput of sieving the two samples might be quite different, because their sieve diameters and shapes are far from identical. Therefore, care should be taken to determine how shape influences particle size analysis results, and if possible to determine particle shape using a technique, such as <a

class="text"><p>Since most particle process streams operate at a solids loading much higher that anything traditional particle size analyzers can handle, careful and time consuming sample preparation is needed for the measurement. The measurement and analysis takes time as well, from minimum minutes (e.g. by light scattering methods) to even longer (e.g. by sieving and offline microscopy).</p><p>In order to obtain continuous information, samples would have to be manually extracted frequently and analyzed on the fly. This approach may also impose unacceptable level of risk, especially for processes at elevated temperatures and pressures with toxic or explosive slurries and solvents. The inevitable time delay between sampling and the receipt of results with offline tools makes them difficult to implement for true real-time measurement, and makes them unsuitable for monitoring process continuously as it changes over time. <a href="/ch/en/home/products/L1_AutochemProducts/FBRM-PVM-Particle-System-Characterization.html" target="_blank">Inline particle size analyzers</a> are the recommended alternative.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="responsivefeaturecontent

class="responsive-content-subtitle"><strong>Target Desired Particle Shape and Phase</strong></h3><div class="text"><p>Beyond the oversimplified particle size parameter, other shape parameters, such as particle width and length, are important because they impact process and product performance. One example of this is Carbamazepine, an anti-seizure drug (trade name Tegretol), used to prevent and control seizures. Carbamazepine has historically been problematic in terms of irregular drug performance.</p><p>Having multiple polymorphs, with different dissolution rates, control of the desired form is important for proper drug efficacy. By utilizing iC Vision software with image analysis, EasyViewer was able to track the changes of particle width and length in real time, and acquire kinetic and endpoint information that can be used to understand this conversion and ultimately introduce control into this process.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="responsivefeaturecontent

class="responsive-content-subtitle"><strong>Monitor and Correct Particle Process Deviations</strong></h3><div class="text"><p>By monitoring particle size in real time directly in the process, it is possible to identify process deviations and take corrective action to minimize the impact of the upset. In Figure A, a continuous process is being monitored where particle size must be kept within tight specifications. Here it should be noted the specification that is set using the in-process instrument is not necessarily the same as the specification set using the traditional particle size analyzer in the QC lab. Here the in-process particle measurement instrument is simply identifying a dramatic process upset, and can support troubleshooting the problem before implementing a corrective action that will bring the process back into specification. For batch processes, in-process particle measurement can support the reduction of batch time by identifying when a process reaches steady state. In Figure B, most of the process changes occur during the first two hours of the process – however in-process particle measurement indicates that particles do not change for the remaining 10 hours of the batch. This is a good indicator that batch time could be reduced – and that a sample for offline quality control should be taken soon after the initial 2 hour period, where most change occurs.</p></div></div></div></div></div><div class="responsivefeaturecontent
