ABSTRACT:
A process for the continuous crystallization of at least one crystallizable material from a solution wherein a series of crystallization stages are utilized, with partial crystallization taking place in each stage. The process includes the classification of partially crystallized suspension between each stage, and the suspension from the final stage is passed to a separator wherein it is separated into a concentrated suspension containing crystals and a spent liquor, the concentrated suspension being returned to the final stage and the spent liquor being discharged. Product crystals are taken from the first stage of the series. Partially grown crystals are circulated between consecutive crystallization stages in the series such that a stream of partially crystallized suspension, after being classified to separate the coarse fraction, is passed from one stage to the next stage in the series; whereas a stream of return suspension is passed in countercurrent fashion from the next stage to the preceding one stage without classification. Coarse crystals are taken from the first stage through an elutriation column (hydraulic classification tube) in countercurrent flow to the incoming feed.
