VERFAHREN ZUR KRISTALLISATION UNTER VERWENDUNG VON HYDRODYNAMISCHER KAVITATION

摘要

A cavitation mixer (800) for crystallizing a compound using hydrodynamic cavitation comprising: a flow-through channel (820) having an inlet (822) to permit an anti-solvent solution (F1) to enter the flow-through channel (820); a port disposed in the flow-through channel (820) for introducing a solvent solution (F2) of such compound to be crystallized into the flow-through channel to permit mixing of the anti-solvent and solvent solutions; and a cavitation generator (810,815) disposed within the flow-through (820) channel to provide a local constriction (830,840) of flow thereby causing hydrodynamic cavitation to effectuate nucleation and the direct production of crystals.
