| About Crystallization |
|
|
Crystallization is one of the most powerful purification methods available.
- Multicomponent mixtures exhibit very similar vapor pressures
- Temperature sensitive products
- Ultra high purities
General characteristics of crystallization:
- High purities
- High selectivities due to the regularity of the crystal lattice
- Solid-liquid phase equilibrium
- No solids handling
- Low labor costs
- Environmentally friendly
- Separation of mixtures forming azeotropes
- Replacement of traditional chemical separation methods
- Low energy consumption
