Melt crystallization processes are in use as suspension or as solid layer processes. The purification efficiency of such melt crystallization processes can be improved by further purification steps such as sweating and washing. Here a mathematical description of experimental results which come from a solid layer type of crystallization process is considered. The experimental results of the purification efficiencies of each step are described by dimensionless numbers which result from a dimension analysis of the influencing parameters.
