摘要
A general expression for the relationship between induction periodand supersaturation was developed based on polynuclear approach.Different mechanism of primary nucleation in solution can beillustrated by the expression. The results of induction perioddetermined by laser scattering method shows that the crystallizationof ciprofloxacin hydrochloride monohydrate in water/ethanol oraqueous solution is by the mechanism of primary nucleation followedby one-dimensional diffusion growth, and then on-dimensionalcontinuous or 'birth and spread' growth on crystal face. The growthmechanism on the crystal face is affected by temperature and solvent.
