chromatography | crystallization |
(chemistry) Any of various techniques for the qualitative or quantitative separation of the components of mixtures of compounds; all characterised by the use of a mobile phase (gas or liquid) moving relative to a stationary phase (liquid or solid) - the differences between the rates of migration of the compounds between the two phases effects the separation.
(uncountable) The act or process by which a substance in solidifying assumes the form and structure of a crystal, or becomes crystallized.
(countable) The body formed by crystallizing; as, silver on precipitation forms arborescent crystallizations.
(uncountable, physics, chemistry) The formation of a solid from a solution, melt, vapour or from a different solid phase
(countable) The process or the result of becoming more definite or precise.
