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.
Distillation: The separation of different substances in a solution by boiling off those of low boiling point first. For example, water can be distilled and the steam condensed back into a liquid that is almost pure water.
Distillation: Water treatment method where water is boiled to steam and condensed in a separate reservoir. Contaminants with higher boiling points than water do not vaporize and remain in the boiling flask.
distillation
the process of heating a liquid to its boiling point, removing the vapors through a cooling and condensing apparatus, and finally collecting the condensed liquid in a separate receiver.
distillation 1) A process that boils the water, catches the resulting steam, and condenses the steam on a cold surface (a condenser). Minerals remain behind in the boiling tank. 2) In waste treatment, ...

is granular charcoal which is not very effective for removing many contaminants such has mercury, volatile organic chemicals (this is the most prevalent contaminant found in drinking water and is also not removed by reverse osmosis or distillation), ...
Common types of desalination include distillation and reverse osmosis. Some countries in the Middle East have established desalination plants to produce fresh water for human consumption because of the desperate shortage of fresh water.
Creosotes: Chemicals used in wood preserving operations and produced by distillation of tar, including polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons and polynuclear aromatic hydrocarbons. Contaminating sediments, soils, and surface water.
distillate (DIS-tuh-late). In the distillation of a sample, a portion is evaporated; the part that is condensed afterwards is the distillate.
divalent (die-VAY-lent). Having a valence of two, such as the ferrous ion, Fe2+.
Removing salts from salt water by evaporation or distillation.
Dilute
To lessen the amount of a substance in water by adding more water.
Specific treatment processes, such as reverse osmosis or multi-stage flash distillation, to demineralize seawater or brackish (saline) waters for reuse. Also sometimes used in wastewater treatment to remove salts other pollutants.
And the only filters that can strain fluoride out of water are expensive ones that employ reverse osmosis, activated alumina or distillation.
Fumes: Airborne particles, usually less than 1 micrometer in size, formed by condensation of vapors, sublimation, distillation, calcination or chemical reaction.
Fumigant: A biocide that is vaporized to kill pests. Used indoors or outdoors.
Still bottoms
Residues left over from the process of recovering spent solvents in a distillation unit.
