crystallization

Noun

∙ The act or process by which a substance in solidifying assumes the form and structure of a crystal, or becomes crystallized. uncountable
∙ The body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations. countable
∙ The formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapour or from a different solid phase uncountable, physics, chemistry
∙ The process or the result of becoming more definite or precise. countable

BABYLON ENGLISH
crystallization (Amer.) n.
act of crystallizing (taking form or shape of crystals), formation of crystals; forming into crystals; causing to take form or shape, causing to form into crystals (also crystallisation)

\crys`tal*li*za"tion\ (kr&ibreve;s`tal*l&ibreve;*zā"shŭn), n. [cf. f. cristallization.]
1. (chem. & min.) the act or process by which a substance in solidifying assumes the form and structure of a crystal, or becomes crystallized.
2. the body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations.
note: the systems of crystallization are the several classes to which the forms are mathematically referable. they are most simply described according to the relative lengths and inclinations of certain assumed lines called axes; but the real distinction is the degree of symmetry characterizing them. 1. the isometric, or monometric, system has the axes all equal, as in the cube, octahedron, etc. 2. the tetragonal, or dimetric, system has a varying vertical axis, while the lateral are equal, as in the right square prism. 3. the orthorhombic, or trimetric, system has the three axes unequal, as in the rectangular and rhombic prism. in this system, the lateral axes are called, respectively, macrodiagonal and brachydiagonal. -- the preceding are erect forms, the axes intersecting at right angles. the following are oblique. 4. the monoclinic system, having one of the intersections oblique, as in the oblique rhombic prism. in this system, the lateral axes are called respectively, clinodiagonal and orthodiagonal. 5. the triclinic system, having all the three intersections oblique, as in the oblique rhomboidal prism. there is also: 6. the hexagonal system (one division of which is called rhombohedral), in which there are three equal lateral axes, and a vertical axis of variable length, as in the hexagonal prism and the rhombohedron.
note: the diclinic system, sometimes recognized, with two oblique intersections, is only a variety of the triclinic.

Crystallization
Crystallization is the (natural or artificial) process of formation of solid crystals precipitating from a solution, melt or more rarely deposited directly from a gas. Crystallization is also a chemical solid–liquid separation technique, in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs. In chemical engineering crystallization occurs in a crystallizer. Crystallization is therefore an aspect of precipitation, obtained through a variation of the solubility conditions of the solute in the solvent, as compared to precipitation due to chemical reaction.
