  • using an additional materials in which that material is soluble - a volatile solvent that evaporates
  • The dissolved powder is then mixed in a mortar or spread on an ointment slab to enhance the evaporation of the solvent. As the solvent evaporates, the powder will recrystallize out of solution as fine particles

Q
  • A spatula is used to blend small amounts of powders on a sheet of paper or a pill tile.
  • This method is not suitable for large quantities of powders or for powders that contain potent substances because homogeneous blending may not occur.
  • This method is particularly useful for solid substances that liquefy or form eutectic mixtures (i.e., mixtures that melt at a lower temperature than any of their ingredients) when in close, prolonged contact with one another because little compression or compaction results.

  • If comminution is desired, a porcelain or ceramic mortar with a rough inner surface is preferred to a glass mortar with a smooth working surface.
  • A glass mortar is preferable for chemicals that stain a porcelain or ceramic surface as well as for simple admixture of substances without special need for comminution. A glass mortar cleans more readily after use.

  • The potent drug and an approximately equal volume of diluent are placed in a mortar and thoroughly mixed by trituration.
  • A second portion of diluent, equal in volume to the powder mixture in the mortar, is added, and trituration is repeated. The process is continued; equal volumes of diluent are added to the powder mixture in the mortar until all of the diluent is incorporated.
