Die Schmelzkristallisation von organischen Stoffen und ihre großtechnische Anwendung

Abstract
Melt crystallization of organic substances and its large scale application. In the separation and purification of organic substances, water‐ and solvent free melt crystallization is gaining importance as an independent thermal unit operation. This contribution reviews the physico‐chemical fundamentals, the various process fundamentals, large scale application examples and advantageous possibilities of combination of melt crystallization with other separation processes. A consideration of advantages and disadvantages of this particular separation process should indicate possibilities for new fields of application.
