originally reported by Unno et al. [7], and a concrete example is shown in Fig.
2, which was originally reported by Unno and Hirasawa [6]. Here, target substance
was Arg. A saturated amount of Arg anhydrate was dissolved in 300 mL of water at an initial temperature higher than the saturated temperature. Then, the solution was linearly cooled down to the final temperature and stirred with a four-blade agitator (ϕ40) at the rotation speed of 400 rpm. In cooling, an adequate quantity of seed crystals was added when the solution temperature reached the saturated temperature. The value of secondary nucleation order was estimated to be 2.67 and that of secondary nucleation coefficient 1.65 × 10

1.6 Stochastic Primary Nucleation Kinetics
In general, secondary nucleation may occur so frequently that it can be regarded as deterministic, which means that the same result can be obtained by repeating the same operation. However, primary nucleation may not occur frequently but rather stochastically, which means that the results will vary with some trend even if the same operation is repeated. Therefore, it is difficult to control the crystallization processes which involve primary nucleation. For predicting this type of crystallization processes, the PBE and MBE including stochastic primary nucleation need to be solved. The probability that the number of crystals newly nucleated from t to t + τ will equal k follows the Poisson distribution with the parameter of the expected nuclei number and is denoted as follows:
P(t,τ;k)=Pr

Here, the superscript “*” emphasizes that the value is a stochastic variable, and Eq. (17) means that the left side of the equation follows the Poisson distribution. Then, τ is replaced by a reasonably short time t to derive an approximate equation as follows:

In Eq. (18), t should be so short a time that the change in the expectation of the nucleation rate and the increase in the crystal size can be ignored during t.The stochastic nucleation rate expressed by Eq. (18) is substituted into Eqs. (1) and (2)to derive stochastic differential equations (SDEs), which is solved once to obtain one of sample paths. The SDEs should be solved so many times that one can estimate the statistical properties of them. Maggioni and Mazzotti [8] have recently investigated the modeling of stochastic primary nucleation and reviewed the relevant literature.
Unno and Hirasawa [6] reported the concrete method for the parameter estima­tion which involves stochastic nucleation. At first, for thedata acquisition, the means and standard derivations of the waiting times were measured in the same system as the concrete examples in Sects. 1.4 and 1.5 until the total crystal number reached

In Tables 3 and 4, a basis function multiplied by a corresponding coefficient is an agglomeration kernel. When agglomeration is dependent on supersaturation, nucleation and growth must occur at the same time in the crystallizer. Thus, it is difficult to prepare the experimental system where only agglomeration may stand out. In this case, we have no choice but to substitute the other parameters into Eq. (1).

2 Application of Modeling to Optimization
Mathematical models for crystallization are usually described with the differential equations, which may include the parameters depending on materials and have the initial, boundary, and other conditions determined by procedures. The quantities resulting from crystallization or related to its process can be simulated by solving the differential equations. In mathematical modeling, the parameters are estimated to minimize the error between the simulated quantities and the observed ones. On the other hand, in optimization after mathematical modeling, some procedures are determined to minimize the difference between the simulated quantities and the desired ones. Therefore, both modeling and optimization can be regarded as the minimization problems via the differential equations, and in optimization similar algorithms can be applied as in modeling.
In seeded batch cooling crystallization, the seeding method and the cooling method may be optimized for improving the quantities related to the crystal product quality. In Sect. 2, several seeding policies classified based on seed loading quantity are discussed at first, and among them partial seeding is focused on as a good choice for pharmaceutical processes. Secondly, in partially seeded crystallization of a model substance, the seeding and cooling methods are simultaneously optimized for the best product quality. Thirdly, the crystallization process designed optimally for the model substance is postulated to be implemented. Fourthly, we show the case study of partially seeded crystallization of Arg and the optimization of the seeding method. Finally, we make a few comments on the effect of stochastic nucleation mentioned above on quality stability or fluctuation of the crystallization products.
2.1 Seeding Policies
In the batch crystallization, the surface area of the suspended crystals and the supersaturation of the solution need to be controlled for obtaining the product crystals with the desired quality. The initial surface area of the suspended crystals can be controlled with the seeding method, while the supersaturation may be controlled with the cooling method in the cooling crystallization. The seeding and cooling policies have been studied by many researchers since the pioneering work of Griffiths [17] on industrial crystallization.
In manufacturing pharmaceuticals, large and uniform crystals are desired for high efficiency of downstream processes, such as filtering and drying. The seeding methods have been developed for the optimization of the crystal size. The seeding policies can be roughly classified into internal seeding and external seeding.
In internal seeding, seed crystals are not added to the solution in cooling, and primary nuclei and secondary ones following them grow up to yield the product crystals. In this process, the resulting products are not contaminated by the external seed crystals, and hence the internal seeding attracts attention as a good method
66 I. Hirasawa et al.
https://t.me/medicina_free
for manufacturing the added-value crystal products such as pharmaceuticals. The applications of internal seeding have been reported by Doki et al. [18], Kim et al. [19], Lenka and Sarkar [20], and so on. However, in internal seeding the extra nuclei need to be dissolved by temperature cycling in order to obtain large and uniform crystals. Finally, a reasonable number of nuclei survive and are treated as seed crystals in typical seeding. The heater and the cooler may expend much time and energy on this temperature cycling in large industrial plants. In addition, the process containing internal seeding may be strongly affected by the stochastic nature of primary nucleation, and hence the batch time or the product quality can fluctuate under a certain controlling condition.
In external seeding, seed crystals are added to the solution for some purpose. The external seeding may be classified into full seeding and partial seeding, based on the purpose of seeding.
In fullseeding, a large quantity ofseed crystals isadded to consumeand lower the supersaturation by the crystal growth and to suppress nucleation. The full seeding was first investigated with the statistical method by Doki et al. [21], and then has been widely studied from laboratory scale to industrial plant. The full seeding is so robust a method that it may yield the crystal products of very high quality and be hardly affected by the cooling method. Meanwhile, in full seeding, it may be preferable to add a sufficient quantity of small and uniform seed crystals because the product crystal quality strongly depends on the seed one. However, a large quantity of seed crystals is avoided in the production of added-value crystals due to the impurities from filtrated, dried, milled, and sieved seed crystals, and to the risk of exposure to their dust. Moreover, unlike the crystals nucleated in the solution, the dry seed ones may not necessarily grow successfully.
On the other hand, in partial seeding, a small quantity of seed crystals is added to induce secondary nucleation. And then, the nuclei grow to yield the products of moderate quality. Roughly speaking, partial seeding has been applied unintention­ally to the actual plants so far, which means that some seeded crystallizers may not be fully seeded for inhibiting nucleation practically. Lee et al. [22] referred to the partial seeding as a reasonable method which might contribute to a high reproducibility.In partial seeding, the seed crystalsmay not act as children whichare going to grow up to be the product crystals but as catalysts for secondary nucleation, and hence the quality of the seed crystals does not necessarily affect the product quality. The simulated results supporting this claim, which were originally reported by Unno and Hirasawa [23], are shown in Sect. 2.2. Therefore, the seed crystals may not need milling and sieving, and they can be replaced with the seed slurry, which may contribute to a significant reduction in impurities and dust.
The concept of classification of seeding policies is outlined in Fig. 5.From the above, partial seeding can be considered to be a relatively good choice for the seeding policy for pharmaceutical processes. However, the process containing partial seeding can be strongly affected by the cooling method, which is attributed to the dependency of secondary nucleation kinetics on supersaturation. For the optimal control of partially seeded crystallization, a moderate number of secondary nuclei should be induced at an early stage, and then they should grow to be the product

2.3.
2.2 Optimization of Partial Seeding
In Sect. 2.2, the simulated results of seeded batch cooling crystallization in the model system, which were originally reported by Unno and Hirasawa [23], are discussed to characterize partial seeding.
At first, an aqueous solution of potassium sulfate is selected as a target substance, and the following preconditions are assumed to be established: a suspension in the crystallizer is well-mixed, there is no crystal breakage nor agglomeration, crystal growth follows the McCabe L law, which means that neither growth rate dispersion nor size-dependent crystal growth occurs, primary nucleation and secondary nucleation are considered to be deterministic processes, the rate of each phenomenon is expressed as the power function of the supercooling degree, and the secondary nucleation rate is proportional to the magma density, or the third moment of CSD. The physical properties and the kinetic parameters are listed in Table 5.
Next, the experimental procedure is considered as follows. Seed crystals are added to saturated potassium sulfate aqueous solution at 50 is cooled down to 30
◦
C. Then, the solution is kept at 30◦C for an hour.
Finally, the PBE and MBE, which contain differential equations, are solved to deduce several lower-order moments of the product CSD. Using the resulting moments, the mean size and the CV are calculated to evaluate the product quality. Here the mean size should be defined or weighted according to the purpose of optimization.
