Talk:Fractional crystallization

Hey what are the pros and cons?

This should be split into Geology and Chemistry processes. Fractional refining is my pick for the cemistry topic name, and Fractional crystallisation for geology (but only cause i'm a geologist and don't want to see a topic called Fractional crystallisation (geology)) and we can split from a F.C. diambiguation page here. Any takers? Rolinator 02:42, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]

I agree, especially since this is now mostly geological. But, will wait a bit in case any chemists want to weigh in on the matter. Also need to expand to include fractional melting. I removed the simplistic sugar example as I would think there should be a better case to illustrate. Vsmith 03:11, 24 December 2005 (UTC)[reply]
I have started a main article Igneous differentiation to handle all the facets of FC processes, which are more than simple cumulate processes. I will synthesise all the various processes from the geo-wiki pages there. Rolinator 13:54, 27 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
