dear student,
Only in the crystallization technique, solids do not get separated with solvent and they also do not decompose or get charred on heating to dryness. But, in the case of the evaporation technique, solids get evaporated with solvent. Impurities also remain dissolved in the solution after filtration and can contaminate the solid copper sulphate.
