Crystallization processes

Crystallization is a process where a substance transitions from a liquid or dissolved state into a solid with an organized, repeating structure called a crystal. It occurs when the concentration of the substance becomes high enough, or the temperature drops, prompting molecules to come together and arrange themselves in a specific pattern. This process is common in nature, like mineral formation, and in industry, such as purifying chemicals or producing sugar. Crystallization allows for the separation and purification of substances by forming solid crystals that can be collected and used.
