1. A method of preparation of trientine tetrahydrochloride crystals, comprising:
step 1: adding an anti-solvent at a feeding temperature into a trientine tetrahydrochloride solution and stirring for crystallization;
wherein the feeding temperature ranges from 50° C. to 75° C. and the anti-solvent is an alcohol solvent,
wherein the stirring is made for a duration of at least one hour at a temperature ranging from 5° C. to 25° C.,
wherein the method does not require a use of seed crystals, and
wherein the trientine tetrahydrochloride crystals feature X-Ray Powder Diffraction (XRPD) peaks detected at 21.9, 24.8, 25.2, 28.0 and 35.6±0.1° 2θ.
