Volatilization is a natural process, that can be duplicated in labs.
Also called Vaporization, volatilization is roughly a label for the transformation of substances from a solid or liquid state into gas. Don't quote me.
For example, volatilization is a commonly referred to mechanism by which wetlands can filter pollutants out of the environment. Plants have some sort of relationship to these chemicals which allows them to transform them from solid or liquid state into a gaseous state.
I searched for scholarly articles on Volatilization, and i couldn't find anything that directly explained the process to me.
