Crystallization is a form of separation technique. It is usually used to separate sugar from water. We could not separate sugar from water by heating or evaporation like how we can separate salt from water because sugar would decompose upon heating.

This is how crystallization works. It would be based on the example of sugar solution. If you want to separate sugar from water, you must first make sure that the sugar dissolves in water. After that, heat the mixture. Make sure it does not boil, or the sugar would decompose. Let it cool down at 90 degrees. By then, most of the water would have been evaporated by now, leaving sugar in the watch glass because it cannot evaporate. Once it had cooled down, scrape the sugar off the Watch Glass. Ta Da! You have your sugar!

as a solid solute begins to dissolve in a solvent, the concentration of the solute particles in solution increases and so do their chances of colliding with the surface of the solid. such a a collision may result in the solute particle's becoming reattached to the solid. this process which is the opposite of the solution process is called crystallization.

Crystallization is basically the particles in a gas start to slow down and the gas becomes a solid.

Crystallization occur from solutions after the evaporation of the solvent, from melts after cooling, etc.
