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 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.

The process of heating and evaporating to produce pure spirit; the substance so obtained.

The volatilization of a liquid by h and the subsequent condensation of the vapor means of separating the volatile from the non volatile, or the more volatile from the less volatile, part of a liquid.

-
The act of distilling; that which distils; the process of extracting spirit from a substance by means of evaporation and subsequent condensation into drops; the process of obtaining a substance pure, or of refining by that means; rectification; the substance obtained by distilling. Dry distillation, the distillation of substances per se, or without the addition of water. Destructive distillation, the distillation of substances at very high temperatures, so that the ultimate elements are separated or evolved in new combinations. Fractional distillation, the separating of the volatile elements of a compound by so moderating the heat that the more volatile shall be distilled off in succession from the less volatile.
By Nuttall, P.Austin.
-
The manufacture of ardent spirits or alcoholic liquors from grain, &c.; the operation of extracting a spirit from any substance by evaporation and condensation.

Destillatio,Stalagmos,from destillare, (de, and stillare.) 'to drop, little by littie.' Catastalagmos. An operation, by which -by the aid of heat and in close vessels -the volatile are separated from the fixed parts of bodies, with the view of collecting the former, when condensed in appropriate receivers. The ancients distinguished distillation per latits, per aseeiisum, and per deseensum, according to the direction which the volatilized matters were made to take. In distillation per latus, the apparatus is so arranged, that the vapour passes horizontally through a succession of spaces before reaching the receiver. Distillation per ascensum is the ordinary method by the still. In distillation per descensum, the fire is applied above and around the top of the apparatus; and it is so arranged that the vapour must pass downwards. When dry organic matter is placed in an apparatus for distillation, and heat is applied until all volatile matter is driven out, the process is called dry or destructive distillation.

-
The process of vaporizing a body by the application of heat, and condensing and collecting the volatilized products. The apparatus for this purpose consists essentially of a closed vessel containing the substance to be vaporized and communicating by a tube with a condenser. In the latter the volatilized products which come over from the heated retort are subjected to cold and thus condensed into a liquid or solid form.
