Alembic vs. Distillation
Alembicnoun
An early chemical apparatus, consisting of two retorts connected by a tube, used to purify substances by distillation
Distillationnoun
The act of falling in drops, or the act of pouring out in drops.
Alembicnoun
An apparatus formerly used in distillation, usually made of glass or metal. It has mostly given place to the retort and worm still.
Distillationnoun
That which falls in drops.
Alembicnoun
an obsolete kind of container used for distillation; two retorts connected by a tube
Distillationnoun
The separation of more volatile parts of a substance from less volatile ones by evaporation and condensation.
Alembic
An alembic (from Arabic: الإنبيق, romanized: al-inbīq, originating from Ancient Greek: ἄμβιξ, romanized: ambix, 'cup, beaker') is an alchemical still consisting of two vessels connected by a tube, used for distillation of liquids.
Distillationnoun
Purification through repeated or continuous distilling; rectification.
Distillationnoun
(petroleum) Separation into specific hydrocarbon groups; fractionation.
Distillationnoun
The substance extracted by distilling.
Distillationnoun
The act of falling in drops, or the act of pouring out in drops.
Distillationnoun
That which falls in drops.
Distillationnoun
The separation of the volatile parts of a substance from the more fixed; specifically, the operation of driving off gas or vapor from volatile liquids or solids, by heat in a retort or still, and the condensation of the products as far as possible by a cool receiver, alembic, or condenser; rectification; vaporization; condensation; as, the distillation of illuminating gas and coal, of alcohol from sour mash, or of boric acid in steam.
Distillationnoun
The substance extracted by distilling.
Distillationnoun
the process of purifying a liquid by boiling it and condensing its vapors
Distillationnoun
a purified liquid produced by condensation from a vapor during distilling; the product of distilling
Distillation
Distillation, or classical distillation, is the process of separating the components or substances from a liquid mixture by using selective boiling and condensation. Dry distillation is the heating of solid materials to produce gaseous products (which may condense into liquids or solids).
