Compare with Definitions

Rectification

To set right; correct
Rectified the situation by adding more chairs so that more people could sit.

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).

Rectification

To correct by calculation or adjustment
Rectified the mathematical error.

Distillation

The evaporation and subsequent collection of a liquid by condensation as a means of purification:the distillation of water.

Rectification

(Chemistry) To refine or purify, especially by distillation.

Distillation

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:petroleum distillation.

Rectification

(Electronics) To convert (alternating current) into direct current.

Distillation

A distillate.

Rectification

To adjust (the proof of alcoholic beverages) by adding water or other liquids.

Distillation

The act of falling in drops, or the act of pouring out in drops.

Rectification

The action or process of rectifying.
The rectification of an error; the rectification of spirits

Distillation

That which falls in drops.

Rectification

(geometry) The determination of a straight line whose length is equal to a portion of a curve.

Distillation

The separation of more volatile parts of a substance from less volatile ones by evaporation and condensation.

Rectification

(geometry) The truncation of a polyhedron by replacing each vertex with a face that passes though the midpoint of each edge connected to the vertex; an analogous procedure on a polytope of dimension higher than 3. Category:en:Higher-dimensional geometry

Distillation

Purification through repeated or continuous distilling; rectification.

Rectification

Rectification

(astrology) A procedure that attempts to determine a person's time of birth based on events in their life.

Distillation

That which falls in drops.

Rectification

The act or operation of rectifying; as, the rectification of an error; the rectification of spirits.
After the rectification of his views, he was incapable of compromise with profounder shapes of error.

Distillation

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.

Rectification

Rectification

The act of offering an improvement to replace a mistake; setting right

Rectification

Determination of the length of a curve; finding a straight line equal in length to a given curve
