Abstract
A process for manufacturing crystals of 1,4:3,6-dianhydrohexitols, by manufacturing a solution of an internal dehydration product of at least one hexitol, distilling the solution, crystallizing, and wherein the crystallization mother liquors undergo a step of evaporative crystallization. Unlike the prior art processes that seek to recycle the crystallization mother liquors, evaporative crystallization economically and efficiently replaces the succession of steps consisting of at least one concentration, then at least one step of purification by distillation, chromatography, or crystallization.
