In the industrial applications of classical distillation, the term distillation is used as a unit of operation that identifies and denotes a process of physical separation, not a chemical reaction; thus an industrial installation that produces distilled beverages, is a distillery of alcohol. These are some applications of the distillation process:

Distillation, the process involving the conversion of a liquid into vapor that is subsequently condensed back to liquid form. It is used to separate liquids from nonvolatile solids or in the separation of two or more liquids having different boiling points. Learn more about distillation here.

Here is an explanation of the process of distillation, a common method used in chemistry to separate substances.

Distillation is the method of separating mixtures, in which the conversion of a liquid into vapour is afterwards condensed back to liquid form. distillation method is used for the purification of metals. Distillation is preferable where both solid and liquid have to be extracted from the solution. Also known as simple distillation, it is based on the differences noticed in the volatility and ...

Distillation is a purification method for liquids, and can separate components of a mixture if they have significantly different boiling points. In a distillation, a liquid is boiled in the "…

Distillation is an ancient separation technique, with its roots in the preparation of alcoholic spirits (such as vodka and whisky) and pre-chemistry studies (called alchemy). A still is the apparatus used for distillation. The term distil comes from the Latin root words meaning ‘to drop down’. The separation technique involves evaporating or boiling a liquid, collecting the vapour and ...
