Abstract

A gluconic acid syrup is introduced into a first crystallization zone 1a which it is brought to traverse under stirring and inside which it is maintained at a constant temperature, the mixture syrup and the gluconodeltalactone crystals emerging from this first zone being brought to traverse a second crystallization zone 1b within which it is subjected firstly to a temperature gradient decreasing globally, possibly modulated then to a substantially constant temperature, the mixture emerging from this second zone being in the form of a crystalline mass rich in gluconodeltalactone crystals from which the latter are recovered.
