I want to increase the crystallinity of a water-insoluble phosphate by use of an autoclave.
In literature the phosphate/water dispersion was kept at 180 °C for one week. Cooling rate was not mentioned.
I wonder if it makes sense to slowly cool down the autoclave or if holding at high temperature is the important step.
I could find out by experiment, but that will take a long time, so any experience would be quite helpful.
