- fractional distillationA method of separating a mixture of liquids that have different boiling points.
- dry distillationThe heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids).
- vacuum distillationDistillation under reduced pressure, and thus at a reduced temperature with less risk of thermal degradation
- destructive distillationThe heating of a material, such as coal or wood, in an inert atmosphere, at a high temperature such as to cause decomposition; the principal products include oils and tars from which many useful organic compounds may be obtained; town gas …
- distillation chaserA substance used to force a distillate in a distillation, as it has a boiling point more than that of the substance to be extracted and less than that of the impurities. It is rarely used but mostly with fractional distillation when column …
- freeze distillationThe process of enriching a solution (not truly distilling it) by partially freezing it and then removing frozen material that is poorer in the dissolved material than is the liquid portion left behind.
- global distillationThe concentration of volatile pollutants, generated in the temperate zones, in the polar regions
- membrane distillationa separation method in which a nonwetting, microporous membrane is used with a liquid feed phase on one side of the membrane and a condensing, permeate phase on the other
- steam distillationA technique in which the volatile components of a material are separated by passing steam through the heated material.
- salt-effect distillationa technique of extractive distillation in which a salt or a non-volatile liquid is added to the mixture being distilled in order to remove azeotropes and aid separation
