Abstract
A crystallization process is described for separating a desired substance from an aggregate mixture in which an emulsion of droplets in a continuous phase containing the aggregate mixture is formed and supersaturated, characterized in that the emulsion is seeded with seed crystals of the desired substance and seed crystals of at least one other substance in the aggregate mixture to effect crystallization of the desired substance and the other substance(s) in the continuous phase. Also described are substances separated by the process, and devices for carrying out the process.
