primary nuclei-originated. Grown seed crystals, of which the product crystals are composed in the successful full seeding, are defined as seed-grown crystals. Grown secondary nuclei originated from seed-grown crystals and their grown descendants, of which the product crystals may be mainly composed in the partial seeding, are defined as seed-originated crystals. Grown primary nuclei, grown secondary nuclei originated from grown primary nuclei, and their grown descendants, of which the product crystals are completely composed in the internal seeding, are defined as primary nuclei-originated crystals. Mass fractions from each origin are computed in Sect. 2.
Consequently, the statistics mentioned above versus seed loading ratio, or ratio of seed loading mass to theoretical crystal yield, are computed and illustrated several other materials.
This trend indicates that partial seeding is most effectively performed at the first local minimum point of the CV. Therefore, the seed loading ratio at which the CV takes the first local minimum can be regarded as the optimal one under a certain condition of the seed quality and the cooling method. Then, the optimum seed loading ratio is estimated for some cooling rates and some seed crystal sizes, and the resulting relation among optimum seed loading ratio, cooling rate, and seed crystal size is illustrated in Fig. 7. In addition, the resulting relation among local minimum CV, cooling rate, and seed crystal size is shown in Fig. 8. Here, the local minimum CVs correspond to the first local minima, and the optimum seed loading ratios to the arguments of the first local minima, in the charts of CV versus seed loading ratio. In Fig. 7, the optimum seed loading ratio is affected both by the seed quality and by the cooling method. On the other hand, in Fig. 8, the local minimum CV is not affected by the seed crystal size but by the cooling rate, which might be attributed to the role of the seed crystals in the partial seeding as the catalysts for secondary nucleation. In short, the seed quality will not affect the optimal product quality but the optimal control.
2.3 Process Design
In Sect. 2.3, a simple method for the crystallization process design is developed for the optimization of partially seeded crystallization of the model substance. As mentioned in Sect. 2.2, the seed quality will not affect the optimal product quality, which enables the seed slurry to replace the seed crystals filtrated, dried, milled, and sieved. The seed slurry can be prepared by recycling the product slurry or in the other unseeded crystallizer. The crystal quality of the seed slurry cannot be controlled but monitored with the PAT tools. The acquired data will be utilized for determining the optimal control procedure.
The seed quality may be determined by the size and the standard deviation in the size. However, in the simulation, the standard deviation affects neither the minima nor the arguments and may not matter to the partial seeding. As for the cooling method, one can change the cooling period and the temperature profile for

For example, in Fig. 6, the cooling period is fixed to 6 h, and the solution is cooled linearly, which means that the decrease in temperature is proportional to the first power of time. Therefore, the product CVs in Fig. 8 may be improved by changing the temperature profiles, such as the exponent of time. In other words, the cooling may be programmed for optimization of the partial

seeding. Then, the exponent of time for temperature profile is optimized for partial seeding under several conditions of the cooling period, and the optimum exponent and the resulting minimum CV versus the cooling period are depicted in Fig. 9. At the same time, the re-optimized seed loading ratio for the programmed cooling is shown in Fig. 10. Here, typical mean size, or L and the seed loading ratio need to be optimized simultaneously, and the regression equations are also shown. As is mentioned in Sect. 2.3, these regression equations will be utilized for the process design. Nevertheless, it should be noted that there is room for improvement in the temperature profile in this case, where the decrease in temperature is set to be proportional to the power function of time.
Before a concrete example is provided, the several conditions of the experimental procedure are added to those considered in Sect. 2.2 as follows. At first, mass of solvent is set to 3 kg, which fixes the theoretical crystal yield to 113 g. Next, the seed slurry, in which the seed mean size is measured at 100 μm, is prepared in the other unseeded crystallizer and then added to the main crystallizer. Finally, in order to improve productivity, the product crystals are required to have the CV not more than 40%. Under these conditions, cooling and seeding methods are optimized to meet the demand for the product quality and to minimize the cooling period.
This type of optimization involves complex non-linear problems, but they can be solved as a simplified linear programming problem of the regression equations mentioned in Sect. 2.2. The regression equations used for the process design are shown below:

These equations are utilized for the process design as follows. At first, the demand for the quality is substituted into Eq. (31), and the resulting inequity is solved to derive the minimum cooling period required to meet the demand. This method supposes the tendency that higher product quality requires longer cooling period. Next, the minimum cooling period obtained is substituted into Eq. (32)to derive the optimum temperature profile. Finally, the minimum cooling period and the seed mean size measured are substituted into Eq. (33) to derive the optimum seed loading quantity.

2.4 Case Study: L-Arginine Crystallization
In Sect. 2.2, seeded crystallization in the model system is investigated to char­acterize partial seeding. In Sect. 2.4, we show the case study of partially seeded crystallization of Arg, which were originally reported by Unno and Hirasawa [25].
An aqueous solution of Arg is selected as a target substance. The experimental procedure was as follows. At first, the seed suspension to which the seed crystals had been sieved and added was prepared and kept at 30 of Arg was dissolved in 300 mL of water at 35
◦
temperature of 30
C. Finally, the solution was linearly cooled down to 20◦C, stirred at 300 rpm, and monitored with the PAT tools. In cooling, the seed suspension was added when the solution temperature reached 30 temperature was kept for half an hour. The seed loading ratios were set to around the optimum ratiopredicted by simulation. As for the simulation, the physical properties and the kinetic parameters reported by Unno et al. [7] were utilized, and similar preconditions as in Sect. 2.2 were assumed to be established with such exceptions as follows: primary nucleation was neglected, the coefficients of each rate varied with temperature according to the Arrhenius equations, and the growth rate was expressed as the function of the relative supersaturation.
As a result, simulated and measured charts of CV of the product crystals versus seed loading ratio are illustrated in Fig. 11.InFig.11, the simulated optimum seed loading ratio is reasonably close to the measured one. However,

the minimum CV is not predicted successfully due to the ignorance of primary nucleation, agglomeration, and breakage. In addition, the error bars are so long that one can hardly recognize significant differences among the plots, which might be attributed to the stochastic nature of nucleation in a laboratory scale and to the measurement errors of the very small suspension volume added. These results suggest the difficulties in validation of the optimal partial seeding in laboratories.
2.5 Quality Stability
In Sect. 1.6, we show how to solve the SDEs including stochastic nucleation, and the experimental results in Sect. 2.4 imply that the stochastic nature of nucleation may affect the fluctuation of the product quality under a certain controlling condition. In Sect. 2.5, we discuss the simulation for the effect of stochastic nucleation on the product quality in seeded crystallization.
As in Sect. 2.2, an aqueous solution of potassium sulfate is selected as a target substance, and similar preconditions are assumed to be established with the exception that primary nucleation and secondary nucleation are considered to be stochastic processes. Then, the same experimental procedure as in Sect. 2.2 is considered, and the product CV is calculated 50 times per 1 condition.
Consequently, the simulated relation between seed loading ratio and product CV is illustrated by the box plot in Fig. 12 under an example condition. The deterministic CVs are also shown in Fig. 12. These results may imply that in some cases, the fluctuation of the product quality caused by the stochastic nature of nucleation is not negligible. For example, at the seed loading ratio of 10

that stochastic nucleation, both primary and secondary, causes the fluctuation of measured values and that stochastic primary nucleation specially causes the error between the deterministic value and the mean of stochastic ones.
The stochastic behavior of nucleation, which will make it difficult to control the crystallization process, may be inevitable if nucleation happens. However, the fluctuation and the error can be reduced by means of nucleation at high speed or scale-up of the crystallizer. Moreover, one can predict them in the simulation mentioned above. This prediction will have to be taken into account for the process design. For instance, the optimal control which can produce the crystals with high quality but may causethe significant fluctuationwill have to beavoided or improved.
3 Conclusions
At first, the mathematical models for the crystallization phenomena, such as growth, nucleation, breakage, and agglomeration, are introduced to describe pharmaceutical crystallization processes, and parameter estimation methods are developed for the parameters of these models. For the simple parameter estimation, in-line measurements with PATs, such as FBRM and ATR-FT-IR, may be helpful. By using these PAT tools, the kinetic parameters of growth and secondary nucleation for Arg

crystallization can be estimated simply and linearly. As for primary nucleation, the stochastic nature is significant, and hence the SDEs including stochastic primary nucleation should be solved so many times, as well as repeated measurements, that the kinetic parameters can be estimated. With the PAT tools, some parameters of breakage may be estimated simply and linearly, but others may non-linearly. It is difficult to analyze solely the agglomeration kinetics due to the dependence of agglomeration on supersaturation, but the kinetic parameters of agglomeration may be estimated when the parameters of the other phenomena are known.
Then, the developed models are applied to the optimization of pharmaceutical crystallization processes. Among several seeding policies classified based on seed loading quantity, partial seeding may be a good choice for pharmaceutical processes. In partially seeded crystallization of a model substance, the seeding and cooling methods are simultaneously optimized for the best product quality, which results in the design formulae of the seeding and cooling conditions. By using the design formulae, the detailed operating conditions of the crystallization process designed optimally can be calculated for the model substance. This optimization method was applied to partially seeded crystallization of Arg. Consequently, the simulated optimum seed loading ratio was reasonably close to the measured one. However, the minimum CV was not predicted successfully due to the ignorance of primary nucleation, agglomeration, and breakage, and the results may have been affected by the stochastic nature of nucleation. As for the stochastic nature of nucleation, the simulated result in seeded crystallization of a model substance suggests that the stochastic behavior of both primary and secondary nucleation may cause the fluctuation of the product crystal quality. Therefore, the stochastic behavior of nucleation will have to be considered for the process design.

Breakage PBE Kernels Using Monte Carlo Simulation Results
Ashok Das and Jitendra Kumar
1 Introduction
The production of particles with some specific internal and external properties is crucial in pharmaceutical, chemical, mineral, food processing, and other material processing industries. Some of the important particulate processes used in these industries are crystallization, agglomeration, milling, grinding, polymerization, etc. In these processes, particles change their internal and external properties (e.g., size, shape, porosity, enthalpy, etc.), and one can observe aggregation, fragmentation, nucleation, rupture, and growth of particles. The most popular method to track the macroscopic behavior of the system is to use the population balance equations (PBEs) [1]. The PBE is an integro-differential equation, which tracks the evolution of the number density function with respect to time. The PBE uses certain mathematical kernels to describe the particulate processes, such as aggregation, breakage, growth, and nucleation. However, the sole focus of this chapter will be to discuss the PBE kernels corresponding to different types of breakage processes.
Due to the integro-differential nature, PBEs are analytically solvable for some extremely trivial classes of kernels only. That is why PBEs are often solved numerically. In the literature, several numerical techniques are available to solve the PBE, such as sectional method [2–5], method of moments [6, 7], finite element method [8–10], finite volume technique [11–14], etc. Most of these numerical techniques discretize the domain of concern to solve the equations. Additionally, the researchers have also used the stochastic and discrete nature of the Monte Carlo technique to solve the PBE [15–17]. However, the ubiquitous use of population balance modeling is hindered in practical situations due to the unavailability of
