Investigation of the effect of temperature cycling on surface features of sulfathiazole crystals during seeded batch cooling crystallization by Abu Bakar, Mohd Rushdi, Nagy, Zoltan K., Rielly, Chris D.

“…The study shows the capability of FBRM to provide useful information with regard to the changes on the surface of the crystalline products, which could be linked to possible growth mechanisms. The information can be used to avoid problems in the downstream processing or in the final product property due to variations in flowability and friability, which are related to the crystal surface property.…”
