Summary

Suspension crystallization has only limited applications at the present time. Layer crystallization is a process in which a solid phase is frozen out in the form of compact layers on cooled surfaces. This process is commercially competitive on a large scale with other thermal separation processes, provided the number of theoretical stages is limited to two. For multistage operation, the energy requirement of layer crystallization becomes greater than that of rectification. Future development should be targeted at continuous melt crystallization processes in which the product and the equipment must not repeatedly be cooled and heated.
