dropwise crystallization

Dropwise crystallization is a method where a solution containing dissolved substances is slowly dripped onto a surface or into a cooling environment. As the liquid droplets settle or cool gradually, the dissolved material begins to come out of solution and form crystals at the point of contact. This controlled process allows for the formation of larger, purer crystals by minimizing disturbances and irregularities during growth. It's often used in chemical manufacturing and research to produce high-quality crystals with precise characteristics.
