Designing cleaner crystallization processes that control particle size is an important area of research to the chemical and pharmaceutical industries. Drug delivery systems such as inhalation or intravenous dosage requires a very precise definition of the particles size and shape. Supercritical CO2 has unique properties to control the particles size and shape. It is a non-toxic anti-solvent for the pharmaceutical industry that mixes with the solution faster than conventional solvents
