crystallizer
Purification through precipitation
A crystallizer is a vessel or apparatus used to form crystals from a solution or melt.
In industrial chemistry, crystallizers separate and purify substances by controlling temperature and concentration until crystals precipitate: The sugar refinery's crystallizer produced uniform granules.
Figuratively, a crystallizer is anything that brings vague ideas into sharp focus: The deadline served as a crystallizer for the team's scattered plans.
