Abstract: Mass crystallization was studied on the basis of a crystal-size distribution function for a kinetic law of growth of faces (when the growth rate of a crystal face does not depend on the size and shape of the face) and with allowance for vanishing of individual faces during crystal growth. It is proposed that the crystallization problem should be reduced to a system of equations that admit analytical solutions in some cases of practical interest.
