The application discloses small-
granularity meropenem crystals and a preparation method thereof. Through a further reaction-
dissolution coupling crystallization process after dissolving a
raw material crude product by adding a lye, uniform small-
granularity meropenem crystal products can be obtained. The obtained
crystal products are white block or flaky shuttle-shaped
crystal habits, have high content (≥99.5%), low total
residual solvent (≤0.2%), and high process yield (≥90%); the
aqueous solution is colorless, clear and transparent, and has an acidity of 4.84-5.12; the
granularity is uniform, the fluidity is good (the
angle of repose is ≤35°), the granularity distribution is small (D50 is ≤25 μm, and D90 is ≤70 μm), and the product redissolution time is fast (≤75 s); after the obtained products are placed under the condition of 30 ± 2 ℃ and 60 ± 5% RH for three months, no obvious changes are found in various indexes, and the products have good stability. The required equipment is simple, the
processing scale is large, the operation is simple, industrial production can be carried out, and the method has good technical economy and high industrial application value.
