Depend on liquid property, if it had similar boiling point but different freezing point then it might consider crystallisation and distillation when the boiling is easier to separate them. If the liquid is easily thermally decompose then it might need to consider crystallisation. there is no definite answer to this question. Very depending on what chemical working with.

What is crystallisation used for?

crystallisation is one of the techniques to obtain compounds (solids) in pure form.


In what situation would you use fractional distillation over simple distillation?

You would use simple distillation when the two products you are trying to separate have large difference in boiling points. Fractional distillation is needed when the two products have very close boiling points (like Hexane and toluene). In petroleum refining, the word "fractionation", not "fractional distillation" is used, often interchangeably with "distillation". When we have a crude mixture of different compounds which have very minor difference in their boiling points and cannot be separated simple distillation, then fractional distillation is used. Differenciation of components of petroleum is done by this process
