The solubility of isosorbide in ethylene glycol was measured and the crystallization kinetic parameters were estimated via seeded batch cooling crystallization. The saturation concentration of isosorbide was measured using a density meter, which enabled rapid and accurate measurement of the concentration. The crystallization kinetic parameters were estimated by fitting the population balance equation to the time-dependent change of concentration and average crystal size. Crystallization using continuous stirred tank reactors (CSTR) was simulated with the obtained parameters, and the reliability of the simulation was verified with experiments. The kinetic parameters estimated from seeded batch crystallization experiments can be used for the prediction of crystallization under seeded conditions, such as CSTR. The prediction of the crystal size and concentration of the CSTR crystallizer using the estimated parameters were consistent with the experimental results. The amount and composition of residue obtained from industrial poly(ethylene-co-isosorbide) terephthalate process was predicted, and recovery processes and optimum operating conditions are proposed via simulation using Aspen Plus.
