Abstract

Single crystal growth experiments were conducted to investigate the growth rate of acetaminophen (paracetamol) crystals under carefully controlled conditions of temperature, supersaturation and pH value. The relative growth rate of the different faces was studied. Growth Rate Dispersion (GRD) was observed by studying the effect of supersaturation and temperature on the growth rate. The growth rate in all directions was found to be temperature dependant. Elongation of the crystals was measured due to the faster growth in the Y‐ direction and Xa direction compared to in the Xb direction. Dissolution of the crystals was observed at pH values greater than 8.5, and a growth rate retardation was observed when increasing the pH from 5.6, which is the normal value without additions, to higher values in both acidic and basic mediums up to 8.5.
