Effect of Co-solvent on the Solubility of a Sparingly Soluble Crystal
Solubility data plays an important role in the industry. Measuring solubility of crystal in various solvent is a key factor in compound characterizing during the whole discovery and development process where it allows engineers to design and optimize crystallization process. Benzoic acid is a simple...
