Crystallization

Crystallization is a method used for the purification of substances. The separation technique separates solids from a liquid.

The process of turning a liquid substance into a highly structured solid whose atoms or molecules are arranged in a well-defined three-dimensional crystal lattice is known as crystallization. A unit cell is a crystal’s tiniest discrete component. There are millions of these unit cells throughout the crystal.

 

Purification of Organic Compounds

Organic chemistry is the study of carbon-containing molecules’ structure, characteristics, content, reactions, and production. The majority of organic compounds contain carbon and hydrogen, but they may also contain a variety of other elements (e.g., nitrogen, oxygen, halogens, phosphorus, silicon, and sulfur).

Organic chemistry was originally limited to the study of molecules created by living organisms, but it has now expanded to encompass man-made substances.
