✦ Synopsis

A mathematical analysis of a continuous crystallization unit is presented together with some experimental results obtained on the crystallization of p-xylene from xylene mixtures. The analysis is based on dividing a continuous crystallization unit into two sections: a crystallizer-crystal settler and a countercurrent washing section. Some operational parameters useful for data correlation and scale up are defined.
