Uudiskiteytystä
Uudiskiteytystä is a Finnish term that translates to "re-crystallization" in English. It is a fundamental technique used in chemistry and materials science to purify solid compounds. The process involves dissolving an impure solid in a suitable solvent at an elevated temperature, creating a saturated solution. As the solution cools, the solubility of the desired compound decreases, causing it to crystallize out of the solution in a purer form, leaving impurities behind in the mother liquor.
The effectiveness of uudiskiteytystä depends on several factors, including the choice of solvent, the rate of
After crystallization, the pure solid is separated from the mother liquor, typically by filtration. The crystals
