In order to obtain optimized operating condition for industry naphthalene purification using fractional crystallizing method, the influence of heating rate, crystallizing times, holding time and cooling rate on the yield and purity of industrial naphthalene were studied. The industrial naphthalene from AISC Chemical General tar workshop was used as starting material in the study. The results show that the yield and purity of refined naphthalene can achieve 94.2％ and 99.30％ respectively, when the heating rate is 1.2℃/h, the cooling rate is 3℃/h, holding time is 5 hours and the crystallizing times is 3. The result of present study provides a theoretical foundation for the actual production and technology improvement of naphthalene purification.
