* Recrystallisation:- is a purification technique which consists of dissolving the impure substances in a minimal volume of a solvent near its boiling point, then allowing the solution to cool slowly to recrystallize the substance and gets its pure crystals once more time.

Recrystallization is a very important purification technique for purifying solid organic its is also used to manufacture the correct crystal size and shape . An impure solid may be purified by first dissolving it in the minimum quantity of a boiling solvent. Insoluble impurities are then removed by rapid filtration of the hot mixture. The filtrate is next allowed to cool slowly, crystals will form.
