Answer:
Crystallization or crystallisation is the process by which a solid forms, where the atoms or molecules are highly organized into a structure known as a crystal. Some of the ways by which crystals form are precipitating from a solution, freezing, or more rarely deposition directly from a gas.
Another important application of crystallization is its use to obtain pure salt from seawater. Crystallization can also be used to obtain pure alum crystals from an impure alum.

Give two applications of crystallisation ?
- Crystallization is primarily employed as a separation technique in order to obtain pure crystals of a substance from an impure mixture.
- Another important application of crystallization is its use to obtain pure salt from seawater. Crystallization can also be used to obtain pure alum crystals from an impure alum.

Effectively, crystallization is being used as a purification technique to separate the product from the impurities and process solvent. Mixing during crystallization is vital in facilitating good heat and mass transfer.
