distillation,
destructive distillation , dry distillation decomposition of a solid by heating in the absence of air, resulting in volatile liquid products.
fractional distillation that attended by the successive separation of volatilizable substances in order of their respective volatility.
dis·til·la·tion (d s t -l  shn)n. 1. The evaporation and subsequent collection of a liquid by condensation as a means of purification. 2. The extraction of the volatile components of a mixture by the condensation and collection of the vapors that are produced as the mixture is heated. |
