Driving water out of crystals are crystallization process.
The piece of equipment used are evaporating dish.
Explanation:
Crystallization process
- Crystallization is a process of converting crystalline solid state into liquid state.
- It works both in purification and separation step.
- Steps involved in the crystallization process are
a) Nucleation
b) Crystal growth
- It is the oldest unit operation methods.
- Methods involved in this process are solvent evaporation, slow cooling, solvent diffusion and sublimation.
Evaporating dish
- Evaporating dish is a shallow open container.
- Evaporating dish is used to heat and evaporate solids.
- It is made by borosilicate glass or porcelain, which is non-reactive and withstand heat from Bunsen burner.
