EFFLORESCED Meaning and Definition

  1. Effloresced is a verb that refers to the process by which a substance, typically a crystal or a surface, develops a powdery white substance on its surface due to the evaporation or loss of moisture. This phenomenon commonly occurs in certain types of minerals, salts, or chemicals that have a tendency to attract water molecules. When these substances are exposed to air or when the surrounding environment becomes drier, the moisture they contain is gradually released, causing the formation of a white, powdery residue on their surface.

    The efflorescence process can also be observed in buildings or structures made of porous materials such as concrete or stone. In this context, effloresced refers to the appearance of a white, powdery substance on the surface of these materials as a result of moisture migrating through the structure and carrying dissolved minerals to the surface. This can happen due to various factors, including high levels of humidity, water leaks, or inadequate ventilation.

    In summary, effloresced is a term used to describe the occurrence of a powdery white substance on the surface of crystals, minerals, chemicals, or porous materials, typically caused by the evaporation of moisture and the subsequent deposition of dissolved minerals.
