Crystallization refers to the separation of a substance or compound from a concentrated solution in the form of crystalline structures.
Particular emphasis in this process is placed on the isolation of pure solid substances. Target can be the formulation of a final product which is subsequently dried, or the purification of an intermediate which in turn is dissolved and processed further.
In the production of citric acid crystallization is used to isolate the product as calcium salt from the fermentation broth. Citric acid as well as starch sugars are crystallized to formulate the final product.
Vogelbusch crystallization designs include cooling as well as evaporation crystallizers. Sophisticated crystallizing and separation technology ensures the desired product quality.
