“distillation”

.

*method of separating mixtures based on their ‘volatilities’ (‘tendency to vaporize’) in a ‘boiling liquid mixture’*

.

(‘alcoholic beverages’ are made by distilling the ‘ethanol’ in ‘fermented grain’)

(‘fermentation” is the metabolic process of converting ‘sugar’ to ‘acid’)

(“distillation” is a process of separating the component or substances from a ‘liquid mixture’ by selective ‘evaporation’ and ‘condensation’)

(“distillation” may result in essentially complete ‘separation’ (nearly ‘pure’ components), or it may be a ‘partial separation’ that increases the concentration of selected components of the ‘mixture’)

(in either case the process exploits differences in the ‘volatility’ of the mixture’s components)

(in industrial chemistry, “distillation” is a unit operation of practically universal importance, but it is a physical separation process and not a “chemical reaction”)

.

(commercially, “distillation” has many applications)

.

(for example…)

(in the ‘fossil fuel industry’ distillation is a major class of operation in obtaining materials from ‘crude oil’ for ‘fuels’ and for ‘chemical feed stocks’)

(“distillation” permits separation of ‘air’ into its components — notably ‘oxygen’, ‘nitrogen’, and ‘argon’ — for industrial use)

(in the field of “industrial chemistry”, large ranges of crude liquid products of chemical synthesis are distilled to separate them, either from ‘other products’, or from ‘impurities’, or from ‘unreacted starting materials’)

(“distillation” of fermented products produces distilled beverages with a high alcohol content, or separates out other fermentation products of commercial value)

(an installation for “distillation”, especially of alcohol, is a “distillery”)

(the “distillation” equipment is a “still”)

.

*”distillation” is a very old method of “artificial desalination”*
