Separation processes for gas–liquid and liquid–liquid systems have been treated in this and previous chapters. Also, the separation process of leaching was discussed for a solid–liquid system. Crystallization is another solid–liquid separation process, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs. An important example is in the production of sucrose from sugar beet, where the sucrose is crystallized out from an aqueous solution.
Crystallization is a process where solid particles are formed from a homogeneous phase. This process can occur in the freezing of water to form ice, ...
