  1. Purify (a liquid) by vaporizing it, then condensing it by cooling the vapor, and collecting the resulting liquid
    • - they managed to distill a small quantity of water
    • - dip the slide in distilled water
  2. Make (something, esp. liquor or an essence) in this way
    • - whiskey is distilled from a mash of grains
    • - the distilling industry
  3. Extract the essence of (something) by heating it with a solvent

  4. Remove (a volatile constituent) of a mixture by using heat
    • - coal tar is made by distilling out the volatile products in coal
  5. Extract the essential meaning or most important aspects of
    • - my travel notes were distilled into a book
    • - the employee report is a distilled version of the main accounts
  6. Emanate as a vapor or in minute drops
    • - she drew back from the dank breath that distilled out of the earth
  1. purify: remove impurities from, increase the concentration of, and separate through the process of distillation; "purify the water"
  2. undergo the process of distillation
  3. condense: undergo condensation; change from a gaseous to a liquid state and fall in drops; "water condenses"; "The acid distills at a specific temperature"
  4. give off (a liquid); "The doctor distilled a few drops of disinfectant onto the wound"
  5. (distillation) distillate: a purified liquid produced by condensation from a vapor during distilling; the product of distilling
  6. (distillment) distillation: the process of purifying a liquid by boiling it and condensing its vapors
  7. Distillation is a method of separating mixtures based on differences in their volatilities in a boiling liquid mixture. Distillation is a unit operation, or a physical separation process, and not a chemical reaction.
  8. (Distillation (album)) Distillation is the second album by musician Erin McKeown. It was released via Signature Sounds in 2000.
  9. (Distilled (album)) Distilled is the fourth full-length album by American hard rock band, Brand New Sin. This is their first album with Kris Wiechmann assuming the lead vocal duties, and also their first independently-released album after leaving Century Media Records.
  10. To subject a substance to distillation; To undergo or be produced by distillation; To make by means of distillation, especially whisky; To exude in small drops; To impart in small quantities; To extract the essence of; concentrate; purify; To trickle down or fall in small drops; ooze out; ...
  11. (distillation) The act of falling in drops, or the act of pouring out in drops; That which falls in drops; 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 ...
  12. (distillation) This is when you separate a mixture of liquids by heating it up.  The one with the lowest boiling point evaporates first, followed by the one with the next lowest boiling point, etc.
  13. (Distillation) The first stage in the refining process in which crude oil is heated and unfinished petroleum products are initially separated. (top)
  14. (distillation) The act of purifying liquids through boiling, so that the steam condenses to a pure liquid and the pollutants remain in a concentrated residue.
  15. (Distillation) Gasoline contains various hydrocarbons that boil at different temperatures. As a result, the gasoline boiling range can extend from 27°C to a maximum of 225°C. This is in contrast to water that boils only at 100°C at sea level. ...
  16. (Distillation) The process of condensing steam from boiling water on a cool surface. Most contaminants do not vaporize and therefore do not pass to the distillate. Removes nearly 100% of all impurities.
  17. (Fractional distillation) A process based on the difference in boiling points of the liquids in the mixture to be separated. Successive vaporisation and condensation of crude oil in a fractionating column will separate out the lighter products, leaving a residue of fuel oil or bitumen. ...
  18. (Distillation) The process in which a liquid, such as water, is converted into its vapor state by heating and the vapor cooled and condensed to the liquid state and collected. Used to remove solids and other impurities from water. Multiple distillations are required for extreme purity.
  19. (Distillation) The process whereby the spirit is separated from the liquid as a whole using heat in the stills. The wash is heated to boil off the alcohol which has a lower boiling point (78°C) than water (100°C). As the alcohol vaporises before water, it can be collected once it has condensed.
  20. (Distillation) A purification process involving the phase change of water from liquid to vapor and back to liquid, leaving behind most of the impurities in the water.
  21. Distillation produces high quality, treated water by heating the raw water until it turns to steam. The steam travels through a condensation coil, where it is cooled and condensed back into liquid form in a separate section. ...
  22. Distillation is a process of heating water until it evaporates as steam leaving behind bacteria, minerals, trace amounts of metals, sodium chloride, organic chemicals and nitrate.
  23. (DISTILLATION) The evaporation and subsequent collection of a liquid by condensation.
  24. (Distillation) Removes all ions from water.
  25. (DISTILLATION) A process of desalination where the intake water is heated to produce steam. The steam is then condensed to produce product water with low salt concentration.
