To demonstrate the capabilities of the MCP probe for monitoring crystallization processes, we performed a test re-crystallization of the chemical oxybenzophenone in an acetone solvent. The figure shows the measurements of the MCP probe during the entire dissolution and recrystallization process. Measurements of mean crystal size (blue), crystal concentration (green), water/acetone ratio (yellow), and temperature (red) are plotted against the minutes after slurry addition.
This experiment demonstrates that the MCP probe provides key measurements of crystallization processes. Monitoring these key parameters can lead to a better understanding of the process, as well as better control of final particle size and concentration.
