The supersaturation is the driving force of the process, since it represents the difference between the chemical potentials of a hydrate building unit in the solution and in the hydrate crystal. Expressions for the supersaturation are obtained for solutions supersaturated in isothermal or isobaric regime.
How does the crystallization process occur?The process of crystallization can occur in two steps. In the first step, a crystalline phase appears from a supercooled liquid or a supersaturated solvent and this step is called nucleation. In the second step, we see a crystal growth i.e., the size of the particles of crystal increases and this step is called a crystal state.
