Crystallization is a proven and highly selective method for the separation of isomeric and azeotropic organic mixtures. Despite the fact that layer melt crystallization has gained great importance in the last decades and although the number of industrial applications is steadily increasing, there are still gaps of knowledge concerning the development of layer crystallization processes. This study closes these gaps by presenting methods that enable the development layer melt crystallization processes faster, with less experimental effort and more cost saving.
