Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of valacyclovir hydrochloride production and processing technology, specifically to an apparatus for valacyclovir hydrochloride crystallization. Background Technology
[0002] Solution crystallization is the process by which a substance transforms from a liquid state to a crystalline state, involving two steps: nucleation and crystal growth. Nucleation occurs when a certain number of crystal nuclei are formed in a supersaturated solution; crystal growth then occurs when crystals grow from these nuclei. In the production of valacyclovir hydrochloride crystallization, the material to be crystallized is typically placed in a crystallization tank. A reactant is then added to the tank, and the tank is cooled, ultimately resulting in the formation of crystalline particles within the tank.
[0003] The existing technology has the following shortcomings: The existing technology, disclosed in CN201821988618.3, discloses a valacyclovir hydrochloride crystallization device, including a crystallization tank. The crystallization tank has an outer shell, which, together with the crystallization tank, forms a cooling chamber. The cooling chamber has a first refrigerant inlet at its upper end and a first refrigerant outlet at its lower end. A cooling cylinder is located inside the crystallization tank, forming a crystallization cavity between the cooling cylinder and the side wall of the crystallization tank. The crystallization cavity has a feed inlet at its upper end and a discharge outlet at its lower end. A fixed box is connected to the top of the crystallization tank via a support rod. A guide pipe is rotatably installed at the bottom of the fixed box, and its lower end is rotatably installed on the top of the cooling cylinder. The upper and lower ends of the guide pipe are connected to the fixed box and the cooling cylinder, respectively. A motor is located at the top of the crystallization tank, with a drive gear at the motor's output end. A driven gear meshing with the drive gear is located on the guide pipe. A second refrigerant inlet is located on the fixed box, and a second refrigerant outlet is located at the lower end of the cooling cylinder. The guide pipe is connected to a stirring rod via a connecting frame. The stirring rod is located inside the crystallization cavity and has stirring blades.
[0004] The above-mentioned equipment can quickly cool the materials inside the equipment through the cooling chamber and cooling cylinder. However, it lacks a good heat exchange and heat conduction mechanism, resulting in relatively low heat exchange efficiency. At the same time, during the crystallization process, crystals tend to adhere to both sides of the inner wall of the equipment body, making it difficult to clean them quickly and effectively, and inconvenient to carry out more comprehensive collection work.
