结晶器的结构相对精馏塔来说，略复杂。需要发汗、洗涤等步骤。过程较复杂，过程的连续化较困难。
The structure of the mold is a little more complicated than that of the distillation column. It needs Sweating, washing, etc. The process is complex and difficult to be continuous.
相对于其它热分离单元操作，熔融结晶具有如下优点：
Compared with other heat separation units, melt crystallizer has the following advantages:
高选择性、低能耗、操作温度低、无溶剂、无废液、无气相。熔融结晶与精馏相比较，具有操作温度低、所需能耗小等突出优点。除以上两点外，第三点就是可以利用工厂里其它操作单元所产生的废热。因为现有的大部分有机化合物的熔点都在工厂废热温度范围内。
High selectivity, low energy consumption, low operating temperature, no solvent, no waste liquid, no gas phase. Compared with distillation, it has many advantages, such as low operating temperature and small energy consumption. Besides, Waste heat from other operating units in the plant can be utilized. Because most of the organic compounds’ melting point is in the range of the waste heat in the factory.
熔融结晶与溶液结晶相比较，由于没有添加新的溶剂，所以避免了溶剂的后处理过程，这个优点往往可以弥补熔融结晶的其它缺点。
Compared with solution crystallization, melt crystallization avoids the post treatment process of the solvent without adding new solvent, and this advantage can often compensate for other shortcomings of the melt crystallization.
熔融结晶处理的是液态物质，液态相对于气态而言，所需要的体积小，所用设备体积小，投资少。当然，如果熔融结晶需要长的停留时间时，则这点优势就不明显了。熔融结晶过程没有气体产生，泄露易于控制。而且整个设备可密闭，有利于环境安全。熔融结晶不需要添加任何物质，所以没有废液和其它化学物质（溶剂）产生。要知道，溶剂回收的成本往往占整个结晶成本的大部分。对于非固体溶液型体系，从理论上来说，结晶过程具有高的选择性和可以高达99%的产品纯度。
Melt crystallizer deals with liquid substance, which requires a small size and a small amount of equipment, therefore needs less investment. However, if melting crystallization takes longer residence time, then this advantage is not obvious. During crystallization, no gas is produced, and leakage is easy to control. Moreover, the whole equipment can be closed and is more conducive to environmental safety. Molten crystallization does not require the addition of any substance, so no waste liquid or other chemical substance (solvent) is produced. The cost of solvent recovery often accounts for most of the cost of the crystallization process. For the non solid solution type system, the crystallization process has very high selectivity and the purity of the product can be as high as 99%.
