Field of Research

The demand for specific, tailor made crystalline products in the chemical, pharmaceutical and food industry is steadily increasing. Whenever high demands are placed on the product, the focus must already be on crystallization, because here the particulate properties are initially defined.

Agglomeration is a phenomenon in crystallization and in the subsequent solid liquid separation and drying which influences key characteristics of the crystals. Therefore, it is of vital importance to investigate and control agglomeration during crystallization. Nevertheless, it is still often considered as incidental phenomenon occurring alongside nucleation and growth and is not fully understood. A promising opportunity to enhance the fundamental understanding of agglomeration on the microscopic scale are imaging techniques. However, there are also some challenges related to image acquisition during the process and to image processing. In recent years, Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) have been increasingly used to make image processing more accurate and faster so that a step has been made towards real-time monitoring
