physical properties, the tubular flow type is more advantageous than the stirred tank
type which a residence time distribution. However, since the tubular type crystallizer
is not sufficiently stirred, a very long apparatus must be manufactured. Therefore,
the continuous oscillated baffled crystallizer (COBC), in which the tube is separated
into multiple compartments, is attracting attention. This section introduced a device
for obtaining large crystals and a small crystallizer for obtaining small crystals. In
the future, more sophisticated crystallizers will be developed.
