Fractional crystallization (chemistry)
text:
In chemistry, fractional crystallization is a stage-wise separation technique that relies on the liquid-solid phase change. It fractionates via differences in crystallization temperature and enables the purification of multi-component mixtures, as long as none of the constituents can act as solvents to the others. Due to the high selectivity of the solid – liquid equilibrium, very high purities can be achieved for the selected component.
