Crystallization refers to the formation of solid crystals from a homogeneous solution. It is essentially a solid-liquid separation technique and a very important one at that. Crystals are grown in many shapes, which are dependent upon downstream processing or final product requirements.he salt that will not dissolve will help the first step in crystallization begin. This first step is called nucleation or primary nucleation. The salt resting at the bottom of the pot will provide a site for nucleation to occur. Primary nucleation is the first step in crystallization.
Twinning (crystallography). A process in which two or more crystals, or parts of crystals, assume orientations such that one may be brought to coincidence with the other by reflection across a plane or by rotation about an axis.winning of calcite by the pressure of a blade (Baumhauerâs method). If the structural homogeneity of a single crystal is disrupted by a great number of twin formations, the crystal is called a polysynthetic twin (Figure 3).
