1. Distillation
   The separation of a liquid mixture into its components on the basis of differences in boiling points. The process in which components of a mixture are separated by boiling away the more volitile liquid.

2. Distillation
   Separation of two liquid compounds by boiling point. For example, a mixture of two hydrocarbons can be heated so that the lower molecular weight hydrocarbon evaporates - if the vapour is not allowed to escape, but taken around the corner and cooled down, it can be extracted as a pure liquid.

3. Distillation
   The act of purifying liquids through boiling, so that the steam or gaseous vapors condense to a pure liquid. Pollutants and contaminants may remain in a concentrated residue.

7. Distillation
   A process used to separate a liquid from a solution, e.g. to get pure water from salt water. All or some portion of a substance is vapourized and then condensed and collected. See also: Distillate, Woulfe Bottle.

10. distillation
    Distillation is a technique for separating components of a mixture on the basis of differing boiling points. The mixture is heated, vaporizing some of the components. The vapor is collected and condensed to isolate the components with the lowest boiling points.

11. distillation
    Distillation is the process of boiling a liquid and condensing and collecting the vapour. The liquid collected is the distillate. The usual purpose of distillation is purification or separation of the components of a mixture. This is possible because the composition of the vapour is usually differen...
