  • Dynamic suspension drying (DSD) to control Ostwald Ripening
    Patent number: 10151529
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a process for the control of Ostwald Ripening phenomenon occurring in particle suspensions without the need for addition of stabilizing agents, by using high pressure homogenization at mild conditions in a way that no increase or decrease in particle size occurs, thus allowing the stabilization of the suspension during the isolation step in the form of a dried powder.
