Question

What are some real life applications or industry applications of recrystallization? (Please cite sources if possible).

Answer 1

Application of Recrystallization

Recrystallization is used in various field . Some are following are

1. Industrial application:- Recrystallization is a technique used to purify chemical by dissolving both impurities and compound in solvent

Industrial Application of recrystallization in Al product a series of deformation and recrystallization process is used to improve the deep drawing characteristics of aluminium sheet for beverage can fabrication of forming characteristic in automotive applications

Recrystallization is necessary for

Fracture

Toughness of high strength of aluminium alloys

For better yield strength

For better control of texure and formability

For. Control of grain size

For better surface appreance and demage related property

Recrstalization for purification of compounds

In this technique Recrystallization is used for purity of solid compounds . Solid tends to be more soluble in hot liquids.

Purifying the crystallization an impurity solid compound is dissolved in hot liquid untill the solution is saturated and then the liquid allows to cool

The compound should then form relatively pure crystal

RECRYSTALLIZATION OF DRUG

Recrystallization is a simple and inexpensive method for scalping up the drug development to a commercial level.

In pharmaceutical industry Recrystallization techniques used as a green technology due to saving costs time , energy and less use of machinery

Pharmaceutical industry used Recrystallization for

For defined crystal sized and shape ofdosage form

For obtaining pure drung from raw material

New crystal size

Recrstalization is also used for production of sucrose from sugar beet , where the sucrose is crystallized out from an aqous media

Recrstalization is also used for separating solid based off of various solubility

Recrstalization is used for making eggnog and hard candy
