is usually very effective and efficient. The most important aspect of the recrystallization technique is the selection of the solvent. A large number of solvents are commonly used for recrystallization of organic compounds. Among these are water‚ ethanol‚ ethyl ether‚ methanol‚ and hexane to name just a few. A solvent‚ which works beautifully for one recrystallization‚ may be totally unsuitable for purification of a different compound - the choice for recrystallization solvent is made on a case-by-case
