French term

concrétisation

French to English Science Science (general) Chemistry
On évapore à sec, reprend à XXX, ajoute Et2OH [symbole flèche] concrétisation, filtre, lave à l'eau, sèche etc..

Je ne parle pas de psychologie ici. C'est une description sur un cahier de labo de chimie.
Je ne peux dire ni "gel" ni "solidify" puisque ces 2 mots ont des sens bien spécifiques en chimie, et parce que finalement nous aboutissons à des cristaux. To take shape? To take form? je ne trouve pas ! merci.

Crystallization

Since we are getting crystals at the end - I seem to remember this being used in just such a sense from A-level chemistry! It is indeed solidfy but into a specific structure.

to solidify, become solid.

Closely related to the same word in English.

Depending on context you could also use \'solidification\'.
Peer comment(s):

agree fcl : confusion avec "concrétion". "Agrégation" aurait été ici approprié.
