Solvent crystallization of palm based dihydroxystearic acid with isopropyl alcohol: effects of solvent quantity and concentration on particle size distribution, crystal habit and morphology, and resultant crystal purity

Solvent crystallization of palm based dihydroxystearic acid with isopropyl alcohol: effects of solvent quantity and concentration on particle size distribution, crystal habit and morphology, and resultant crystal purity

Crude dihydroxystearic acid was prepared from palm based oleic acid and was then solvent purified with isopropyl alcohol in a custom fabricated simultaneous batch crystallizer unit. The crystallized dihydroxystearic acid was a functional ingredient that acted as multipurpose intermediate for synthes...
