Which method is better for recovering sugar from sugar solution: evaporation or crystallisation? Give reason for your answer.


Crystallization is better than evaporation for recovering sugar from the sugar solution.

Crystallization is a chemical solid-liquid separation technique in which mass transfer of a solute from the liquid solution to a pure solid crystalline phase occurs.

During evaporation, sugar can get charred on heating. However, in crystallization, no such problem occurs and we can get pure crystals of sugar.
