It is effective to perform crystallization operation using propane (or propylene, ethylene, carbon dioxide, ammonia, etc.) as a refrigerant in eutectic multicomponent systems such as mixed xylene (m xylene + o xylene + p xylene). I found out that there was.

- the absorption condenser is cooled and condensed while contacting the mixed solution of the organic compound and the pressurized evaporation vapor,
- the crystallization heat is substantially taken away by evaporation of only the refrigerant liquid component, and the crystal Precipitates.
- the vaporizer is pressurized by the compressor to a pressure higher than the operating pressure of the crystallization tank and led to an absorption condenser for condensation. The reason why the vaporizer is pressurized by the compressor above the operating pressure of the crystallization tank is to pressurize the temperature difference for condensation by the compressor as in a general refrigeration cycle.
- the condensate in the absorption condenser can be continuously crystallized by introducing it into the crystallization tank.
- propane is used as the refrigerant
- the crystallization tank is at normal pressure, for example
- the absorption condenser is, for example, about 8 atm due to pressurization by a compressor.
- the crystal slurry produced in the crystallization tank is extracted and separated into a crystal component and a mother liquor by means of solid-liquid separation. Since the target component remains in the mother liquor, it can be returned to the crystallization tank.
- a crystallization operation can be performed without using a crystallization tank as a pressure vessel.
- the compressor and the absorption condenser are the minimum, it is necessary to use an expensive heat pump equipment configuration as in the prior art. It is economical.
- the crystal slurry extracted from the crystallization tank is also desired for the cost of the centrifuge and the equipment! / Then, solid-liquid separation is performed with a liquid cyclone or the like, and the separated mother liquor is returned to the absorption condenser, whereby contact with the pressure evaporation vapor can be achieved.
- which form is adopted can be selected depending on the type of the target organic compound, the concentration of the target organic compound in the mixed solution, the operating conditions, and the like.
- the equipment and processes for solid-liquid separation include a centrifugal separator, a filter, a melt purification tower, a piston type or screw type washing tower.
- the operating pressure (evaporation pressure) of the crystal tank is the pressure resistance required for the crystal tank, etc.
- the crystallization point decreases and the vapor pressure also decreases.
- the vapor pressure decreases due to the partial pressure. Therefore, there is a maximum point of vapor pressure. If the refrigerant concentration in the absorption condensate is 1 to 70%, operation near the maximum vapor pressure is possible.
- a crystal tank that performs adiabatic cooling and evaporation of the refrigerant on the mixed solution of the target organic compound including the refrigerant;
- the crystal slurry generated by this operation is a means for extracting the crystallization tank force, a compressor that pressurizes the evaporation vapor in the crystallization tank to a pressure higher than the operation pressure of the crystallization tank, and leads to an absorption condenser;
- An absorption condenser for condensing while bringing the mixed solution of the organic compound and the pressurized vaporizer into contact with each other; Means for introducing the absorption condensate into the crystal tank;
- cooling can be performed without installing an apparatus for scoring crystals precipitated on the cooling surface, which is unavoidable in the cooling crystallization facility,

- a mixed solution 1 of a target organic compound including a refrigerant (target liquid for crystallization operation, for example, a liquid of a eutectic multicomponent mixture including p-xylene and its isomer) is introduced to the absorption condenser 10.
- the refrigerant vapor for example, propane
- the refrigerant vapor is absorbed and condensed to form a homogeneous refrigerant mixture, which is introduced from the temporary storage tank 10A of the absorbed condensate into the crystallization tank 20 through the pipe 61, and in the crystallization tank 20.
- Adiabatic cooling and evaporation of the refrigerant are performed on the condensate containing the refrigerant.

- cooling medium 2 for example, cooling tower cooling water, refrigerator brine, etc.
- a temperature difference between the crystallization tank 20 and the absorption condenser 10 for recondensing the refrigerant at a temperature much higher than the operating temperature of the crystallization tank 20 is ensured by pressurizing with the compressor 30.

Increase purity and commercialize. Since the target component remains in the mother liquor flow Mo, a part of the mother liquor flow Mo can be returned to the crystallization tank 20 via the pipe line 64 in order to increase the recovery rate of the target component crystals.
- the crystallization operation can be performed without using the crystallization tank 20 as a high pressure resistant container. Since the compressor 30 and the absorption condenser 10 are sufficient at the minimum, it is not necessary to have a high-priced heat pump equipment configuration as in the prior art. It is economical.
