In the quality control of crystalline particles, the uniformity of the distribution of each characteristic, such as size and shape, is important. In particular, the problem in reaction crystallization is that the comprehensive uniformity of characteristic distributions is frequently reduced by the agglomeration phenomena. In this study, we designed an operation method to improve the comprehensive uniformity in a liquid–liquid reaction crystallization by evaluating the dynamic variation in the uniformity of particle size and crystal shape using homogeneity. The homogeneity of final particles increased when the supersaturation was lowered by intermittent operation with inner seed production. Since the ratios of the uniformities of particle sizes and crystal shapes constituting homogeneity varied dynamically, the intermittent operation was designed by focusing on individual uniformities. The uniformity of particle size for the final particles was increased via modulation operation using reverse addition for the dissolution of the microparticles. In the growth stage after the reverse addition, the uniformity of the shape of the final particles was increased by raising the number of times of adding solution for decreasing the supersaturation. In addition, we proposed suitable addition methods to improve comprehensive uniformity by controlling uniformity constituting homogeneity at each stage of intermittent operation.
