Evaporation vs. Distillation

Evaporationnoun

The process of a liquid converting to the gaseous state.

Evaporationnoun

The process in which all or a portion of liquid (in a container) is turned into vapour, in order to increase the concentration of solid matter in the mixture.

Evaporationnoun

(archaic) That which is evaporated; vapor.

Evaporationnoun

The process by which any substance is converted from a liquid state into, and carried off in, vapor; as, the evaporation of water, of ether, of camphor.

Evaporationnoun

The transformation of a portion of a fluid into vapor, in order to obtain the fixed matter contained in it in a state of greater consistence.

Evaporationnoun

That which is evaporated; vapor.

Evaporationnoun

See Vaporization.

Evaporationnoun

the process of becoming a vapor

Evaporationnoun

the process of extracting moisture

Evaporationnoun

the process of turning from liquid into vapour

Evaporationnoun

the process of something abstract ceasing to exist

Evaporation

Evaporation is a type of vaporization that occurs on the surface of a liquid as it changes into the gas phase. The surrounding gas must not be saturated with the evaporating substance.

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

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).
