For the complete purification of organic chemical compounds containing impurities, crystallization is applied after preliminary purification processes such as extraction or distillation. In this way, solid and liquid phases are separated from each other. Crystallizers are laboratory products that are mainly used in the chemical industry to achieve solid/liquid separation and to reach high purity products.
Distilled water, diethylether, acetone, chloroform, methanol, ethanol, acetic acid can also be counted among the solvents used for crystallization.
