Reactive Crystallization and Recrystallization for Energetic Material

Reactive Crystallization and Recrystallization for Energetic Material

Process Analytical Technology for Crystallization Optimization

In this presentation, Matthew Jorgensen of Nalas Engineering reviews the development of a highly-insoluable energetic material. The original synthesis involved a less than ideal, four-step process with 3 energetic steps including a slurry-to-slurry oxidation. Process Analytical Technology is employed to understand and improve the process to meet desired stability, morphology and purity specifications by:

  • Identifying reactive crystallization
  • Identifying mass transfer limitations on slurry to slurry reaction
  • Overcoming the inclusion of starting material
  • Getting the correct morphology with high purity through recrystallization design

This webinar presents practical examples and case studies in reactive crystallization and recrystallization in industry.
