Effect of Solvent Concentration and Cooling Modes on Morphology, Particle Size Distribution, and Yield of Dihydroxystearic Acid (DHSA) Crystals

Palm-based dihydroxystearic acid was purified by employing solvent crystallization using ethanol and ethanol/water mixture as solvents. Two different cooling modes, rapid and natural cooling, were employed for the crystallization process. In this study, the cooling effects on morphology, habit, part...
