The reactive precipitation process of procaine benzylpenicillin is reviewed
, while such secondary processes as ageing, agglomeration, breakage, and th
e effects of operation parameters on crystal size are emphasized. In the re
active precipitation the ageing of particles has a little effect on the pro
cess. while the greater effect, comes from the agglomeration and breakage o
f particles, furthermore, the mixing has also notable influence on the prod
uct; size. All of these provide the bases for further study on reactive pre
cipitation.
