6.01.01 Vitamin B-2 Production Process: Ca-Arabonate is used to manufacture Vitamin B-2, Riboflavin. Corn is converted into glucose, which is then oxidized and purified by an ion-exchanger into Ca-Arabonate. Ca-Arabonate is precipitated and separated by centrifugation, then dissolved in water before further processing it into Vitamin B-2.

6.01.02 Aspirin Crystallization: Aspirin is the most widely sold over-the-counter drug. The production process involves the reaction of Salicylic acid and acetic anhydride in glass lined vessels. The liquid produced is pumped to a crystallizer, where it is cooled down to start the crystallization to Aspirin. The Aspirin is then filtered to remove the acetic acid and solvent, which are recovered and possibly recycled. The crystals are then washed and filtered again. The crystals are sent to sifting, granulating and tableting after drying.

6.02.01 Monosodium Glutamate (MSG) Crystallization: Monosodium glutamate, more commonly referred to as MSG, is a sodium salt (C5H8NNaO4) of the non-essential amino acid glutamic acid. It is used to intensify the natural flavor of meats and vegetables.
